I guess I could have added that bokeh isn't really important in this application, in part I did say I don't need or want f/2.8. 24-60 is far too short to be considered.
So it sounds like there isn't really anything other than the 24-105L but if I wanted to spend that much, I think a 2nd 7D would serve me better. I consider the 7D to be the far better general use camera, but the 5D2 does have its little niche (big aperture prime fun) which is why I got it. Just wondering what else I can put it to work on while I have it since most things I have are biased towards EF-S compatible bodies.

Personal, I guess. I would have no problem with a 24-60mm, just combine it with a longer lens for longer stuff. Does not even have to cost much (Canon 85mm f1.8 USM, one of the 90-105mm macros, and so on).
