Couldn't imagine losing the versatility of a zoom when it comes to events.

Absolutly, it all depends on one's shoot requirements!

I would keep the 24-70L. It is just too limiting to use a fixed focal lenth if you shoot events and have to move around alot but not know if you can get close enough (or far away enough) for the 50mm to be just right.
