The Sigmas come to my mind, but I don't like their bokeh. In addition, I think Sigma will most likely update the 24-70 HSM with OS, too, very soon.
A used 28-70L might be an alternative. But that's a huge lens (well, any f/2.8 zoom in that class is, except the Tamron 28-75). A set of small primes may be another option. Once used to using primes, most develop a habit to selectively "see" with a certain focal length and look for matching subjects only. So, a trio with 35/2, 50/1.8 (would prefer the old metal one) and 85/1.8 might do the job, too.
