Worth Fixing Tamron 24-70 for Canon Mount?

Was in NY this past week when my Tamron 24-70 started acting up on my Canon 6D Mark II. Over the past 4 or 5 months I'd been noticing that I would occasioning getting error messages after taking a pictures.."Problem communicating...". I would turn off camera, take off lens and then put it back on and that would resolve it. This past week it completely failed me while in NY for my daughters graduation. I went to BH Photo and they said the lens was "broken" and to take it a couple blocks a way to a store which name I forgot where they do repairs. I did not have the time for that so I simply wound up buying a new all purpose lens which I had been thing of doing anyway. I bought the newest version of the Tamron 24-70 after carefully considering the Canon 24-70 which was $800 more.

The broken Tamron lens is no longer focusing, either auto focus or manual. My question at this point is: Is it worth trying to repair the broken lens or should I simply toss it?

Either way--since I now have the new Tamron 24-70 I would have no need for the old one even if it's repaired.

Any ideas?

Thank You.

If the cost to repair is $200 to $250 would you have it fixed?

There has been reported issues with the 6D Mkii and Tamron lenses giving an error code.
It's likely a software issue and ur out of luck.

This is from Tamrons web page:
