nikon 24-120mm or 24-85mm?

I have noticed that but it seems to me many of the detractors haven't used it but just don't want it anyway. There are some exceptions, i.e. some people have tried it and don't like it, but generally people that own it really like it. Based on specs it's a lens I wanted to own, and now that I do I like the IQ too. I thought I'd keep my 28~70mm f2.8 for 'serious' work but decided there was no point so I have sold it. I'm not a pro but I have had paid jobs where I used the 24~120 and have had some very happy clients.
