Depending on the kind of pictures you want to take, I would think twice on getting the 14-24. It might be an excellent lens, but it has some disadvantages in usability and flexibility. E.g. not being able to use filters (at least without paying big time for the special Lee filter holder). If you do not absolutely need the f/2.8, I'd seriously consider the 16-35 (see review/opinion by Michael Weber) and save the rest of the money for one of the new 1.4 lenses...
