Comparing this lens with the Canon 24-105/4L, it seems to me,
Nikon overdid it a bit by going for a 5x zoom. Albeit distortion
at the 24mm end is slightly better than the Canon, it is worse
in the complete other range. So, using this lens for architecture
type shots will mean that you have to correc tdistortion all the time.
Nevertheless ... would I live in Nikon-land, I would certainly consider
this lens as a walkaround lens on FX.

The question may be whether the 24-120/3.5-5.6 VR is really so much worse. I doubt so actually.
