What's with this perennial debate over the merits of L lenses? As we all know Canon designates an L lens because of it's optical construction (i.e it has aspheric, ULD or fluorite elements). Thereare one or two non L lenses with moulded aspherics (the24-85 being one). Apparently, in Canon think this doesn't count for naming puropses.
I don't think there is one L lens with a moulded aspheric? It has no direct relevance to the optical performance. I wouldn't mind betting that the 24-85 outperforms, in most areas, the 35-350L at like focal lengths and apertures. The TSE 24L is no better than either of the other non-LTSEs. Sure the 24-70L will, but at a price. Maybe not just financial. Imagine all those pictures that might getaway because you found the24-70L too heavy to cart around. Just my 2 pennyworth.
