A lot of the really nice lenses, particularly the best zoom lenses are in that price range.
The 70-200 is on the short list of zooms I would also recommend. I use zooms a lot too and the 24-70 F2.8 is my most used lens. It just depends what you primarily shoot.
I pushed the 50mm for a couple reasons and the biggest one is price. It's the best lens for the money that Nikon or Canon make. Anyone serious about photography should own one regardless of your budget.
I own a lot of lenses and most are expensive and I try not to ever recommend the most expensive lenses to people that are beginners. It tends to dissuade them and I want to see them get into the hobby and make some nice images; not just spend a bunch of money for gear they are not sure how to utilize yet.
