I should clarify... the 17-40 is a brilliant lens and excellent as a zoom (especially considering its price). I've had mine since 2005 and intend on using it until it falls apart in the distant future.
However, when I picked up my 24 f/1.4L II, I was immediately blown away by how much better it is - especially in the corners. The second comparison picture here shows what I mean with a real-world example:

I'm not saying that the 17-40 is bad... I'm saying that the 24 f/1.4L II is a really awesome lens
