So far, the split is right down the middle. The cost difference is not big enough to sway me either way. I think I can handle the weight difference, too, having got used to the 70-200/2.8 in the bag. The extra reach of 24-105 is nice for a one-lens walk around kind of shooting, but I do have the 70-200 if I really need that extra reach. Of course, that becomes a two-lens deal. Some people mentioned a slight edge in sharpness and bokeh in favor of 24-70/2.8, how about color, contrast, focusing speed? Is that edge in bokeh because of the wider aperture?
Thanks, Francis
