I'd also suggest the Tamron 24-70. In fact i had the choice and although money was a consideration i could have afforded the Canon but went for the Tamron, as i felt the VC would be useful over a bit more sharpness and extra weight etc.
Agreed on your priority.
I really do thing the Tamron is a hands down winner for those who cant afford the new 24-70 f/2.7 MKII.
Personally I bought Canon 24-70L II (just on my priority) - a) I only paid $1829.10 (this is the normal price should be) by using another Amazon 10% deal and Amazon gave me refund twice in total $150 to reflect its price dropped two times in last 4 days; b) Just personally I'd not compromise the most critical lenses such as this one and 70-200L II from third party alternatives even with just 5% better; c) I will use for multiple purposes not just walk-around such as in portraiture, studio and my kids' sports; d) I use tripod now as much as possible in low light; e) 'IS' is important but seem not critical in this range of zoom and usually I use 24mm side much more than at 70mm side as it's still sharp at f/2.8 even at edges and 5DIII is very good in low light.
Nevertheless just a personal choice. I fully agree many like you chose Tamron on your reasons that sound very logical. If this Canon version has ‘IS’ with current price I guess much more people can justify
