Ok, One more consideration:

Would a Tokina 11-16 deliver superior results on a 50d comapred to a 17-40 on a 5D mark II?

If yes this might be the way to go, since I still have the 50D as a back up and a really dont want to drag around a heavy lens like the upcoming Tokina 16-28.

The Tok is certainly sharper assuming the same pixel density. However, the 5D II has a much less aggressive pixel density. Take the 50D sensor and transform it to FF and you'd get a 39mp sensor - just to illustrate the difference here.

At f/4 and f/5.6 it's still an easy race in favor of the Tokina (at "17mm") but from f/8 things are quite even here when thinking of the same output format (same print size).
