Dan,
I've got the plastic fantastic 50mm f/1.8 and the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. I'm eventually looking to get into some L glass for my 70-200 range, and possibly a very wide angle lens (10-22 or so).
This lens would be purely a convenient replacement for the 18-55 kit and 75-300 lens so I have more of a point and shoot type lens.

Silkstone,
I considered the 75-300 IS, but if I'm going to spend that much, I think I'm going to go the extra mile and pick up an L-series. I do a considerable amount of low light shooting, so the 70-200mm f/4 (and likely a future upgrade to the f/2.8) would be on the list instead of the 75-300.

I don't have much experience with OS/IS, and was just wondering if it's worth spending the extra money on it.
