You want to do creative sunflare photos? you will struggle bigtime in a consistent manner with the 16-35 f/4IS. Much easier to do creative flare photos with an older 17-40L. 16-35 f/4 is very "anti" sunflare so it all depends on how you shoot and for what purpose.

If you careless for sunflares on the edge of your photos the 16-35 f/4IS is a killer sharp lens with beautiful colours and very distinct sharp pointy sunflares at small apertures (f/8 etc).

I guess he means there is a difference of about $250-$300.
It's not that big, but if you think about it, you may get one more lens in that difference.

its msrp is at around 1000 bucks which makes it one of the cheapest L lenses
the 17-40 may be even cheaper but its known to be one of the least sharp L lenses Canon has ever made.
