Any opinions on anybody who's had a chance to use this lens.
Can someone give me an opinion please.

I know it's not the best quality, but I already have the 18-55mm kit lens, granted it's f3.5-5.6. IMO I think it takes good pictures anyway. I chose the 24-70mm, because my cousin purchased the 24-70L for his 7D(APS-C as well). I took a few shots with it and liked the slightly longer range since the range is more like 38-112mm. Now I know the Sigma isn't an L lens but from reviews I've read they're very close in performance.
Hopefully down the line when I dump the kit lens I'll go for the 17-50mm higher end lenses.
EDIT: Just picked up the lens from the Post Office and tried it on my Rebel XT and my Canon EOS 650(35mm film), and as you said the crop factor is a difference but it still looks mighty fine on the XT.
I was surprised the lens worked seamlessly on the 650, as I've always read that third party lens struggle on older systems but the AF was perfect.
