Well, the 24 hasn't been released yet, so we won't have any ideas as to its performance.  Wait for it to be released and then check the reviews.  As a rule of thumb, I wait a while on new products to see where the chips fall and give the manufacturers a chance to work out the bugs.  It will probably be similar to a 40mm pancake in terms of optics and build and the 40 is highly rated.  A couple of things to consider, 24mm on a crop is close to a 35mm of a full, so you will have a widish/normal field of view.  2.8 is not a very fast aperture on a crop and the bokeh would me more in line with a f/4 on a full.  The 35mm will be closer to normal field of view, has a faster aperture and is image stabilized.
