Congratulations on the new camera. I bet you will enjoy it tremendously.

My advice - actively set a target date for that acquisition and then pursue it. I started with my DSLR journey in early 2009 and my "one day" for the 16-50 is still out there.
There is one more acronym that you may need - LBA. You are likely to be affected (or maybe "infected") by LBA.

I have the Sigma 610 Super and it seems good, versatile, and relatively cheap, but I have little to compare it to. If I were buying now I would be tempted to look strongly at the Pentax 360 II. The updated version has a swivel head, if I recall correctly, that the version I does not have.
Have fun!
