I am going to get a 5DIII in the next several weeks (can't wait).

I have a 17-40 f4L, but not thrilled with it (good enough at ~f6)
I have the 70-200 f2.8 is II, and a couple of long primes.

I like wildlife photography and need an occasional shorter lens for closer work.

So the question is, which would be the best lens to replace the 17-40 . I am interested in image quality, and let's say that I have about $2,300 to spend. The choices I was considering were:

24-70 f 2.8 II
24-105 f 4 (kit)
A macro even?
Any other recommendations?

Thanks so much for your input/considerations
