I have also been looking at the new Tamron 28-85 2.8 but I'm wondering if I'd then miss having the 24mm.

The 24-70L is a MUCH better built lens and much higher quality overall. The f/2.8 is extremely useful for me for indoor sports and candids without flash--not sure if that applies to you. The 24-85 however, is not a terrible lens and would be good as start in that focal range. The autofocus on the 24-70 vs the 24-85 seems to be very similar to me. Louis
