The Canon is also USM which is the fastest focus lens system to date.

Canon 24-70mm 2.8L USM is $1300 USD

Tamron 28-75 2.8 XR Di is $400 USD

I would recommend on your budget to get the Tamron lens
After doing a lot of reading on the subject yesterday, I saw lots of positive reaction to the Tamron (as well as the Sigma).
