OS or not

I'm looking to consolidate my gear a bit. The first two zoom lenses I could call my own were the 18-55 kit lens and the 75-300mm non-IS. I'm looking at replacing them with Sigma's 18-200mm lens.. and hit a bit of a dilemma. Which version?

There are two available..
1. Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC ($330)
2. Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS ($475)

As far as I can tell, the original one fits full frame and crop sensor, and the OS one is limited to APS-C sensors and smaller. Not a big deal, as the most I'll probably ever upgrade to is 20/30/40D (or whatever else they toss into that series).

If anyone has any experience, please do share. I don't have any experience with IS or OS or any kind of stabilizers.. so anything you guys can offer up in those terms would be sweet.
