Yes. It is also true that a new f/2.8 will have to compromise either on image quality or cost compared to the f/4. Size may also be an issue. The trades get more difficult for brighter lenses.

...that Canon did not do a better job with the 24-70 / 4L IS, considering the price-point Canon set for it and how its performance compares the 24-70 / 2.8L II.
