Have you considered waiting on the new Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2?  Tamron's marketing indicates it will be just as good as the Canon 24-70 f2.8 II but include a 5 stop IS.  It is only slightly over your budget ($1199 at most places).  It will be a month or so before review are out to see if it really lives up to its claims.  I was debating getting a 5D4 and the Sigma Art 24-70 but after reading Lens Rentals' review I decided to wait and see if the Tamron is better.
