I know it would cost a lot more but we are also talking about you slapping this on a d800! Its going to be a whole new ballgame for you.

The two lenses are different beasts for different purposes. The 17-35 would be my 'walking around" lens, sort of like a 18-55 on a crop sensor, except it has the extra reach on the wide end rather than the long end.
Eventually I will get an ultrawide, whether the 14-24 or the 14mm prime I have not decided yet. I have heard the zoom is sharper than the prime, so I would like to try both and see if the lesser optical quality is a good trade off for a smaller and cheaper lens.
