D800 with 24-70mm and VR question.

I shoot the Nikon 24-70 on a D800E and get great IQ with hand-held shooting. I don't really have any problems with the lack of VR on this lens. Its shorter focal lengths don't demand a great deal of shutter speed compensation (1/2 X focal length for the D800/E) and when I need to crank up the ISO, LR, PS or Dfine 2.0 can remove the noise.
