24-70 vs Tamron 28-75

Oct 11, 2010

My birthday is coming up and my wife could buy me a lens. At first I thought to ask for 70-200VR2 but then I know I am not going to use it much due to its weight. So I am thinking, maybe 24-70. But I currently own Tamron 28-75 which I've been getting pretty decent results with. However, I've never shot with 24-70. Is it going to blow me away? Is it worth $1200 more to pay for? Photography is my hobby not a job.

D700 with 28-75
