The actual "optical quality" between the f2.8 and f4 lenses is very minimal.  Not enough to really be a factor in the decision IMO.  Both are superb.

The choice is going to be over how much you really want that extra 1 fstop?  There is a hefty premium to pay in both price and weight for the f2.8.  Plenty of resources you can find to see the depth of field difference between f2.8 and f4 in pictures.  It's not that much.
