On EF, I definitely preferred the 24-70/2.8 II. Better IQ than the 24-105 MkI (I had two copies of that), and most importantly, better AF performance on a DSLR because of the wide aperture-requiring AF points.
For RF, if I had to pick just one, it would be the RF 24-70/2.8 IS.
Having said that, I started with the RF 24-105/4 and found the IQ to be equivalent to my EF 24-70/2.8 II. I liked the extra range, and f/2.8 on R bodies no longer adds AF functionality. I couldn't really justify owning both the 24-70/2.8 and the 24-105/4, but rather than swap for the latter for the former, I kept the 24-105 and added the 28-70/2 for indoor low light and portrait use. It's a beast of a lens, but balances well on the R3 with the E1 hand strap.
Ooof. Not going to do 2 in the range. You felt the 70 cropped was a lessor image than the 105?

70 cropped to 105 is not bad, 105 cropped to 150 is not bad. 70 cropped to 150 is not good.
A broader lens zoom range that doesn't sacrifice IQ is a good thing. Trading a stop of light is ok in a walk around lens, for me at least, although having something fast for low light indoors is often useful.
I view the 28-70/2 a less of a zoom lens and more of a collection of fast primes.
I noticed the 28-70 at 50mm was pretty stunning.
I guess my GAS will have to be tempered.
