I would go with the 24-105 and 70-200. Covers a good amount of range in only two lenses.

Then why not just keep the MP-E 65mm or 100mm?

Do you shoot macro most of the time? What focal lengths do you usually shoot in?

If you don't do much under 24, eliminate any lenses wider than that. If you shoot primarily in the 24-105, keep that and the 100 macro. Or if you shoot primarily with a 70-200, keep that with the macro. Same goes for the 70-300, 400, etc. Check your photos and see which are most used and which aren't.

Are you thinking about selling for financial reasons? Space reasons? Just wan't to get rid of stuff?

If I had to choose two lenses, I'd probably use the 15-85 and 100L and a flash. Albiet I've never used the 15-85, I feel like the focal lengths would make the most sense.

Or the 100? I'm confused...you have a diverse set so why would you sell them all then buy two? Why not sell all but two? A macro and portrait like the 24-105L and 100L or 65?

Seems like you have it figured out. Now it's time to let go of the rest.
