In the conclusion you state it is best in class; does this mean you think it out performs the canon 17-55? (It is less expensive but lack IS and FTM; not sure if it is better built).

Where do I state that ?
" starting at f/4 it beats or at least matches alternative products including the more expensive Canon EF-S 17-55m f/2.8 USM IS"
So obviously it does not beat it at f/2.8.
And the Sigma has an IS (OS) of course. The build quality is "different" compared to the Canon - more "tight" but less sophisticated.
