The only difference is that I use it on the EOS R and the stabilization is a gamechanger for me, since I don't plan to replace the camera body anytime soon.

In that case getting IS is great.

Otherwise it's a marginal improvement at best. I opted to upgrade since the aperture module on my EF version broke. Damaged ribbon cable, giving Err 01. From what I saw online, it's not that uncommon.

Sorry to hear that.

I hope the RF will last me longer. The 24-70 may be the most boring lens I own, but I use it 90% of the time.

Probably the RF f/4.0 L would have been the better choice for me, as I don't find my self leaving the house without primes anyway.  Also for indoor shooting I find myself sacrificing zoom capability for a larger aperture and better IQ.

Still I like the f/2.8 zoom better for candid portraits as 70mm&f/2.8 is more flexible than 105mm&f/4.0. The weight is bad, but that 70mm&f/2.8 is there instantly without lens changes and without stepping back.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
