15-85 or 17-55?

Endless discussion seems to revolve around this question, but the end result is usually...
...17-55 for low light need
...15-85 for versatility

We now return you to your normally scheduled photo sharing thread. :D

edit: my link seems to of bombed out, however for anyone wanting to ask comparison of the 17-55 vs the 15-85, simply using the under-utilized search function on the board, and narrowing it down to the lens section and inputting "17-55 15-85" in your criteria, and you will find 20 threads that essentially ask the same question and give the same answer.

For anyone looking at picking up this lens you can get a refurb from canon direct for $575 + tax/shipping depending on where you are located. The price is good until 3/14 or until they are good which ever happens first using fam211 10% discount.

I'm glad to see this lens is holding it's value so well. It's one of the better purchases I've made during my short time with this hobby. It never fails to impress...
