My Opinion ROB, just enjoy what you have now and forget all this lens buying issue, no photographer got the gear that suiys hom most from the first time, besides your own peferences will vary with time.
First I was for superzooms, then I went for primes, then I went back to zooms plus primes, be assured 17-55 is a lens that will give plenty of great photos you will surely enjoy it.
never used 55-200 so can't tell.
Forget the lens shopping thing now take your camera and start shooting, back in the time some of the world's best photographers had no more than a single lens, many used to be happy with a single 50mm prime, you have more than enough to take good pictures
