I debated between that 24-70 and the 24-105 (reach & IS) and went with the former because I don't really care for IS and the 2.8 aperture is more important to me than the extra reach. With that being said, if you have a good camera that performs well at 3200 ISO, the f/4.0 is fine. I just really like the 2.8 for the bokeh.

i have to agree... I've been debating on the 2.8 or 4.0 for the 70-200mm for a few months now... really not sure what I wanna do. If I get the 4.0 I might be able to also get the lightly used 50mm 1.2L I've been lusting after, but then I'm afraid when I do concert shoots and such the f4 isn't gonna be fast enough and my 40d isn't the best in high ISO.
the downside is that the 2.8 is really fast but how often am I gonna need a 70-200mm lens for indoor concerts when I can basically walk right up to the guys I'm shooting.
