I totally agree with you about first generation Canon 24-70 f/2.8 and 24-105 f/4.

Now a new f/4 zoom wouldn't cost me much as a replacement lens, while giving me a stabilized lens. Witch a new f/2.8 would give me too. A Canon 24-70 f/2.8 II would cost me a lot, without giving me stabilisation... just super IQ. I'm trying a see clearer through all this choice.

That's been the on going question that differentiates the 24-70 and 24-105 all these years. That depends what your preferences are when shooting, IS or the large aperture.  I have both yet my preference has been the 24-70.  For my lens samples the 24-70 nudges the 24-105 in IQ, color and sharpness. More so now that it has been serviced and I find it is even nicer than when I first bought it in '05.
