I recently acquired a 6d and had similar dilemma. Eventually, I decided to go with Canon 24-70mm f/4 L. It balances very nicely on 6d and wide angle performance at 24mm is excellent. I am also impressed by how effective IS in video even when panning at 70mm. Macro mode is very usable including video. I am happy with my decision but I still need longer zoom for infrequent use. I also got Canon ef 35mm f/2 IS lens for low light which I am not yet sure if it's a keeper cause to my surprise I like images from cheap 40mm f2.8 somewhat better.

I use tele focal range alot on street, so maybe Canon 24-105L is better than 24-70/4 to me. Also, thanks for opinion on 35/2IS vs 40/2.8
