If a 24-70/4L IS II cost the same as a 24-70/2.8L II, I would take twice the light all day and all night long. IS is only useful for non-moving subjects, and long focal lengths.

Only if I needed the extra light/ night. If not then whats the point?

BTW, what is wrong with non-moving subjects?

Nothing depending on your type of photography while another person might prefer a type of photography with moving subjects.  I mostly fall into the latter but also into the former.  As a result I would rather have the aperture over the stabilization in most applications for me.  YMMV...
