If you don't mind a little more size and weight, the new Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 looks like it might be a good replacement for wide primes in terms of image quality and speed (actually it's faster than any primes I know of in the shorter end of its range). It's not cheap but neither are those lenses on KEH.
