It depends on whether you prefer more reach rather than getting a bit wider. If wider than save money and buy 17-40mm f4.0 as for landscapes DOF is a requirement so narrow aperture won't feel like a limitation. 24-70mm is a usual walk around lens giving you an option of shooting some portraits also owing to its reach and wider aperture.

Yeah that is indeed true.

I rented the 24-70mm last time and took a picture of a landmark building, which is located across the river. I did shot with 41mm which in this case, the wide angle lens would not be sufficient.
