They are both stellar lenses and I honestly have a hard time to tell the difference of their optical performance. According to lenstip.com, the f/2.8 is slightly sharper at the center and APS-C edge, whereas the f/4 version is slightly sharper at the FF edge at the same apertures.
Hi, I would go with the f/2.8 aperture. Shooting a crop sensor in a dim theater I would really like more than f/4 to work with. Compare the 80d and 60d in high ISO on DXO mark. The improvement is not huge. The 24-70 is by all accounts a beautiful and sharp lens. On a budget you might considerCosting $999, the Tokina 24-70mm f/2.8 isn’t cheap, but if it offers comparable image quality, it could represent great value compared to such own-brand options as the $1749 Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM or the $1797 Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED. We ran the Canon EF version of the Tokina 24-70mm f/2.8 though our industry-standard tests to see how
Tamron’s image stabilization (VC) works exceptionally good. The Tamron had serious vignetting issues at 2.8 (along the whole zoom range). At F4 and above vignetting was no longer an issue. In the center of the frame Canon’s lens is always slightly sharper and at 24mm the edges were significantly sharper than the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI
Let's test the new Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 lens against the EF 24-70mm F2.8 Mark II on two sets of different images. We'll look at images produced using the C

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM (or perhaps a 16-35 f/4 or the new 24-105 is ii) Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM; Keep the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM due to f/1.4 which is occationally handy; I like this idea! Might be nice to keep the 100-400, but you could also just use a 2X Extender with the 70-200.
Also the Canon 24-70 2.8 II is way out of my budget. For the Sigma 24-70 F2.8 has not so good reviews (especially regarding sharpness at 2.8). So I would think that this can be left outside of the 3. What I'm most interested is the comparison between the Canon 24-70 F4 and the Sigma 24-105 F4.
