I have all four lenses that you mentioned. I don't use the 24-70 very often, it's slower and heavy, 85mm and 100mm are my favorite non L lenses and i agree with Daniel, it's not overlap. i also think these two lenses produce near L quality images.the 50mm is a good fast lens it's sharp too, but I don't like the colur it produces,and I don't use it any more since i got my 35mm1.4, and for wide angle, I use Tokina 12-24mm4.0.I used to have a 17-40mmL4.0 and I think it is only slightly better than the kit(for IM), so I think, the 35mm will do the 50mm 's job and almost cover the wide angle end of the 24-70mm and the price is as same as the 24-70mm's, and the kit lens will pretty much do it's job for genaral purpers.it' just my opinion based on my experience of using these lenses.
