Honestly, I consider it a big unnecessary expense.
You will be hard pressed to see improvement in image quality over the EF-S 18-135mm USM.
Where you need a large aperture to blur the background the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM will be a better choice.
Get the kit lenses you mentioned in your first post, if after a year of shooting with those you feel you need the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS only then go out and buy it.
Oh and BTW one more vote for the 80D over the 77D.
