I put a 16-35mmL onto my 350D and it felt very front heavy. Attaching a 580EX flash for a laugh was even more dramatic: I could no longer hold the camera with one hand comfortably.
Scaling up, the 70-200mm f2.8 IS is more than 2.5 times the weight of the 16-35mmL... in other words, it is completely impractical on such a light and small body.
Given that the original poster said the 24-105 is too expensive I doubt he'd be considering the 70-200mm f2.8 IS anyway.

OVERKILL!!
