You can also purchase extention tubes to attach to the 70-200 to get close to macro possiblities. I quess what I am trying to say, is that a good quality70-200, adding a few options, makes for a good lens in your arsenal. However, that being said, there is no sub for a lens designed for a certain application. Prime for distance, macro for close up and wide for landscape. Decide what is more important to you now and go with that lens, learn that discipline, save your money, buy the next lens and go.

this is the way I chose to go with the Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS and the 2X converter
I also use a 70-200 f2.8 (none stabilized ) with tubes for macro in the studio
I know its odd having both lenses but I bought the none IS cheap on Ebay first
but mudbug is right you cant really beat having a full range of prime lenses
