Re: What lens would you like to see next?

Indeed.  The zoom ratio of the 24-105 is 4.375x.  The 18-105 is 5.83x so that's what I meant by the 18-105 having a higher zoom ratio.  Of course if you count cameras such as the Panasonic FZ200 (24-600 2.8), you can even have 24x but that's possible only because of the small sensor size.  For APS-C, I think 18-105 f4 is probably close to the practical limit.  But I'm not a lens designer so I could be wrong.
