No doubt it is the better card overall. I just feel like it may be overkill for both my build and my wallet. Sadly already slightly over budget if I do buy the GTX 1080 at current prices. I doubt it will go much lower in Canadian dollars.

I only plan to go 2K resolution at most. A 4K monitor is way over my budget and I think not worth the 24'' to 27'' inch screen width. I just worry about games being released in the next few years making the GTX 1070 sub par. Some benchmarks I have seen show the 1070 struggling in 2K at ultra settings. Still the 1070 would be more within my budget of below $3500.
Thank you both for your advice so far.
