Re: Sharper replacement for Tamron 18-270 (wide to mid range)?

Thank you for your assessment! Just considering quality and usefulness, I have no doubt the 24-105L is the best choice here, I noticed it immediately in a similiar price range as the Tamron 24-70 with an even more useful focal range. However I'm not from the US so generally the price range of these lenses is south of 1300 USD for me, which I'm not ready yet to invest in a single lens (I'm not taking family photos but travelling around Asia regularly where theft etc. may become an issue). All of my lenses have cost less than 500 USD each, so I had hoped to find a good value for money in that range too. For that reason I also think the Canon 15-85 IS may not offer enough improvement in low-light aperture-wise, especially since it'd cost me more than 800 USD here.
