go for 24. you already have 35, and I find 24 much more interesting lens than the 28.  with the exception of slight difference in dof and resolution, you will get the same image if you crop the 24 to 28 fov, as if you were shooting with a 28 from the same spot.  however.  what will happen more often is that you would move closer with the 24 to get same framing as you would have gotten with 28, and there you will very much change your perspective.
