Could be good! How well does it AF and track on your camera?

Yes, f/2.8
To my eyes the Canon is a little sharper in the center and the Tammy is a little better in the corners. Canon set the bar high with the II lens 5+ years ago and it appears Tamron has come very close in 2017. The significant focus breathing issues at portrait distances (detailed in Dustin Abbott's review) might be a concern for portrait photographers however.

My eyes say the same as yours.
No doubt the Tamron will be a great option.
