Inasmuch as I love landscape photography, I have made images with a variety of wide-angle lenses on several formats, including 6x7 film, 645 film, full-frame digital and film, aps-c digital, and a few others, including a swing-lens widelux 35mm camera. My most memorable wide-angle lens experience was with a Carl Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 mounted on a Nikon D800e, an outfit that I rented for a trip to Yosemite one winter. Since a lens is a long-term investment, if you're going to spend "real" money, you might consider renting a lens or two for experimentation or for a special occasion.

I'm really starting to like my Canon 11-24. It's a spectacular lens.
Was able to use this lens for a day while at a workshop Canon held in Yellowstone. I share your assessment. I can only imagine landscapes with this lens and a new 5 series body. Have you posted any shots on this board?

No, I'm afraid not. I'm an over the road truck driver and home time is at a premium. I haven't had much time to shoot photos much less process them but here is a shot from the back yard.

The numbers of your lens make it sound very interesting for landscapes. You will learn that the lens is dependent upon the landscape. Some use a philosophy of the "closer, the wider." In other words if you are using a subject immediately in front of you the lens needs to be wider than if the subject is further away. Make landscapes so expansive.

That Sigma is a really good lens, especially for the price!
