So I console myself with the thought that it's probably too heavy to carry around, anyway... :-)

BUT, I can dream...
Personally, I don't know if the performance justifies the cost:

Like with all super-zooms, two sperate lenses would probably give you better results, and would cost less. The 70-200 IS with the 17-40 would cost less, be faster, wider, and are optically excellent.
