I wouldn't bother getting it fixed. Why bother with f/2.8 zooms for crop gear. I'd get the Tamron and/or a faster prime.
My Tamron is very sharp at 28 mm even wide open. Stopped down to f/4-5.6 it is stupidly sharp right across the frame.
I also own Sigma 30/1.4. This is a much more specialized lens. The borders never get sharp even when stopped down. It does have very beautiful bokeh. This lens is for selective focus shots only. As such it's a good lens to complement something like the Tamron.
I've never shot Canon 28/1.8 but I've heard it's got nice colors, good focus, but is prone to flare.
I have shot Canon 35/2 and I liked it. Maybe a tad soft wide open, but stopped down it gets sharp. It is a very contrasty lens with great color.
