Can 24mm cropped be equivalent to 28mm? (24 f/2.8 IS vs 28 f/2.8 IS)

Thank-you all for your replies and analyses - the jury is in and I'll go for the 24!

However, any reason Canon issued two lenses that are so similar?  I probably would have jumped on either one by itself but having this choice kept me from buying either so far.  Seems like poor marketing strategy unless there is a bona-fide market segmentation issue between the two lenses that I'm unaware of (and I'm sure I'm not the only one with analysis paralysis between them).
