Thanks to all who contributed their thoughts. In the end, no one said anything that would steer me away from the EF 24-70 f2.8, which I picked up locally today for $1100. The buyer threw in a CP filter, which he says costs $100. He used it to photograph cars and airplanes. I will have to see if I can use it effectively for my outdoor sports and event shoots (deep dark sky? any other useful effects?)

Thanks to all who contributed. The $2K I saved by walking away from the RF 28-70 f2 will be put to good use one of these days.

Congrats on the new lens!   That one has served photogs very well over the years.  Enjoy!
