Either your testing is flawed, or you got a bad copy of the RF 24-105L f4. And you will not find even 1 professional review that would agree with your findings.

The truth is, and rating from bad to best:

  1. EF 24-105L f4 Mark I
  2. EF 24-105L f4 Mark II
  3. RF 24-105L f4

You will not find a better 24-105 zoom than the RF model.

Don't be too sure about that, multiple reviews have pointed out it's optically close to the EF versions. Different story if comparing the EF and RF 24-70s, but the RF 24-105mm is definitely one of the weaker RF lenses.

Likely OP has a bad copy, a good copy isn't going to be massively different to their previous EF.
