I agree the wide angle is great, but I'm discovering that I'm prefering the capability to stand in one spot and being able to zoom in to the section, example. If I'm polishing a section out and I do the before and after pictures well I use my tri pod and leave the camera in the exact same position...but with the Sigma 10-20mm I have to put it quite close to capture the area I want and the tripod along with the camera gets in the way and it freaks me out beucase I feel I'm going to kick it or something and the camera is going to end up on the ground...so that's why I'm enjoying the L lens, not becuase it's an L lense but becuase of it's capability to zoom in and out. Yes it's not as wide as the 10-20mm but it's actually not too bad at all.
A co-worker who's big in to photography sayd the same thing as you though, wide angles are more for when going up the mountain or in my case when I'm in a car show and I'm trying to capture as much as possible, while the zoom lenses are more for capturing specific items and also capturing details.
Either way they are handy to have, the wide angle I mean.
