I love the 24-70, haven't used the 24-105, but I know people who like it for weddings and events with a flash bounced off a wall....
Question: Do you mind walking around a bit, or do you like to stand and zoom? Do you pre-visualize your images then pick up the camera, or do you aim and zoom and re-think your image with the camera to your eye? If you stand and zoom and keep your eye in the finder, get the 24-105, otherwise consider the 24-70 or 24/50/85 primes....
I like the 24mm f2.8 optically more than the 24-70 at 24, and I love my 85mm 1.8. The 24 prime has less barrel distortion than the zoom.... the 85 1.8 is a total gem.... If I had the $$, I'd get a 24mm f 1.4... I'm a prime lens person, but it took a while.... yes, the 24/2.8 has noisier AF... for extremely wide stuff, I use a 20mm nikor on an adapter, as focus isn't as much of an issue anyway that wide....
Personal preference, but if you are used to the 50mm F1.4 and you like the depth of field and the ability to shoot in low light, you might find an F4 lens irritating... at 70mm up close at F2.8, the 24-70 can do pretty nice out of focus backgrounds, not sure about the 24-105
