I love the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM mkII on my R5. The RF version has one advantage: it has les harsh bokeh. That might be more important than a (probably hypothetical) tiny bit more sharpness and contrast or ILIS. When paying more to get better bokeh the f/2.0 zoom is probably more interesting, as the price difference between the two RF zooms is relatively small.

Well argued. Bokeh shape on a 24-70mm is not a consideration to me. IS at sports shooting speeds of 1/640-1/2000s is said to be a non-issue, in fact people have repeatedly told me to turn it off at 1/1000s on my tele zoom lenses, but I can't bring myself to do it.
