The case against a 24-105mm lens
The problem from my own narrow personal perspective, buster, is that 105mm is not long enough for travel, the only reason I would lug around a 24-105/4 lens. This raises the issue of what telephoto zoom to couple it with at the long end, and unfortunately all L options are too large and/or heavy for travel, or offer too much overlap as in the case of the 70-200/4 zooms.
The case against a 24-70/4 lens
This one is simple. The 24-70II is just too good at f/2.8, and even better at f/4.
There is a good case for a stellar 24-70/4 IS, which was the OP's question but the existing one is not that.
