The 24-105L is a great lens for street photos on a 6D. The constant aperture is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't carry anything heavier than this lens, and I use fast primes for indoor, low light. AF is very fast and accurate on the 24-105L. The lens works great on the 6D.

The F2.8 lenses are great for indoor events where there is enough light for F2.8. The optics are superior on the Canon 24-70F2.8II, but the lens is heavier than I want, and it costs a lot. It is probably worth it, if you can get by with the range, size and weight.

I would still rather use the 24-105L if the major use would benefit from the range. I won't spend the cost of admission of the F2.8 Canon, but that is a personal decision. I would rather buy a new laptop right now.
