D800 with 24-70mm and VR question.

Obviously lots of differing opinions here as you might expect.

I have the 24-70 f/1.8 with my D800, and I could not be happier. It is an amazing lens, and is the one that is on my camera most of the time. I do not miss the VR at these focal lengths, and the IQ can be absolutely stunning. I have played with, but never owned the 24-120, and thought it was decent, but not in the same league as the 24-70.

Best of luck!
