Is the Sigma 10-20 EX best lens for interiors? - is cheapest!

[VickiJC]

Looking to set up my kit for 350D. As I am an interior designer, I need a good wide angle - but can't decide between:

Tamron AF 11-18 f4.5-5.6 DI II LD (£399)
Canon EOS 10-22 EF-S 3.5-4.5 (£549 - £70 cashback)
or Sigma 10-20 f4 EX DC HSM (£339.99) - I know not out yet but can anyone feedback about the EX series lenses - are they better than the bog standard?

Will couple this with a Tamron 28-75, for my all round everyday kit.

EX series and the newer DG EX series lenses are Sigmas high quality range, they are definately better than the standard Sigma lenses....

I picked up the Tokina f4 12-24 AT-X Pro DX a month ago, and have been pretty happy with it. Not quite as wide as the others above, but wide enough for me. $500 US - which beat the Sigma and Nikon offerings handily, with similar build and image quality, IMHO.
