I thought you liked the latest 28-105, am I wrong? I have read good comments here in the past.
I was seriously considering the faster aperture 28-105 f/3.2-4.5? for some
time with non rotating front element, until I saw the MTF tests amongst other
things and figured I'd live with the old power zoom and buy a constant
aperture 28-70 f/2.8.

I find these numbers mostly meaningless. The 24-90 is rated "average", the 28-105 rated "good" ... sheesh, as if you can reduce a lens' performance to one number and some meaningless one-word description.
