Absolutely, IMHO. I have the STM and 70-200 f/4L IS. On 70D, the sharpness of both lenses are very similar. The STM has much better IS. The L has better colour and contrast. For the price the STM is a no-brainer on crop sensor bodies.

Check your L zoom. The 70-200 f/4LIS gives an honest 4 stops of IS.
