The 17-40mm lens is a baller.
I don't know why people bag it so much. Maybe because its younger and prettier sibling steals the limelight.
As far as I know, the two things going for the 16-35mm are the extra stop of light, and, its magnificent diffraction spikes at sunrise/sunset. The 17-40mm's diffraction spikes are a dog's breakfast.
I use the 17-40mm at f/16 and it is sharp, sharp, sharp.
You're right, Greg; using cheap lenses on a good sensor is like riding a pogo stick when you own a Ferarri. What's the point?
