I have both the 16-45/4 and the 16-50/2.8. Both are very nice and capable lenses. My current favourite of the two is the /2.8, but I may be defending my investment here... It would certainly be a nice replacement for your Sigma.
For telezoom, I have an ancient Sigma EX 70-200/2.8. Bought from Cotty when he went to the Dark Side. Once had the opportunity to test it side-by-side with the FA* 70-200/2.8 with the *istD, and didn't see the point in switching. The new DA* has a shorter range, so think carefully if you can live with that. Remember also that there's a DA*60-250/4 emerging from the pipelines in July.
