17-55 f2.8 slam dunks any 70-200 as a walkabout lens, particularly on a crop-sensor camera. The 70-200 is full tele and just won't work on most scenics, groups shots, or documentary type shooting. (It's good for head shots and tele). You need a walk around first, then you can think of the 70-200 or a prime lens if you have a particular need (like the onstage photography discussed earlier). For a crop-sensor, I'd really look hard at 35mm rather than 50mm, unless you really need a short portrait-style lens. 35mm on a crop-sensor is closer to what most consider a "normal" lens.
