Re: Lighter weight combination.
After lugging a 7DII with battery pack and several lenses in a back pack I was surprised how light my old 600D was! My walk-round lens for that which is still used is the EF-S 18-135. That seems to be a pretty good combination for lightweight and zoom range. However, I had often thought about the EF-s 18-55 and 55-250 as a lightweight combo. I would be tempted, should I need to go light, to use the two rather than one. I know this does not meet your requirements for a single lens, but most reviews I have seen of the longer range zooms suggest they are soft at the tele end. The other aspect I would suggest you check is the maximum ISO for the 77D. I could only use up to 800 on the 600D, whereas the 7DII is good at 1600 and 3200 in most cases.
