So I'm back at it with this dilemma again, albeit slightly different.

I've settled on staying with Canon but I'm wobbling back and forth on what to do right now. I shoot mainly travel/landscape/city photography for the record.

Current setup is a 60D with the 15-85mm and a 50mm f/1.8.

Option 1: Complete upgrade to a 6D with a 24-105mm as a direct replacement. Out of pocket after selling existing equipment is ~$1,250.

Option 2: Keep the 60D but sell both existing lenses. Upgrade to the 16-35 F/4L. Out of pocket is ~$410. I'm also looking at the Sigma 18-35mm as that seems to get stellar reviews and would be wide enough for me if I move onto FF at some point.

So with option 2, I'm limiting myself on the longer end but it's also a significantly cheaper option. I shoot within that range 80% of the time so it doesn't seem like it would be a huge deal. The 70-200 F/4 is also on the list down the road, so maybe a few years from now I can migrate the 16-35 over to a FF and add the 70-200.
