 Why choose Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8?, and not Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5?

I now hunting for a F2.8 lens for next year KLIMS. Hence should i go for a Tammy 17-50 or Sigma 24-70, since both almost priced the same?

I would want some sharpness to surpass my bread and butter lens Sigma 18-200 as well as some decent bokeh. I did tried Tammy and the bokeh n colors are just nice. Not sure about 24-70.

One thing to point that tamron 17-50 f2.8 may be the most popular F2.8 lens but it is also slow in focusing and QC issues emerged as my fren had a problemtic one.

I would need some reviews for the sigma 24-70 as well. I quit fond with sigma since i using its 18-200 now.
