Yes the 24-70mm f2.8 is a good lens to have but it is very long and a little heavy especially when you compare it with the new Z mount version which is only f4 but it is light and small.
I havent done a comparison between the f2.8 and the f4 version on my Z7 but I expect the newer f4 version will be equally good if you use the lens at f4 or smaller apertures.
I frequently use my lenses wide open as the old saying about lenses being soft wide open may have been true for lenses in the past but isnt the case now.
According to Nasim Mansurov from PhotographyLife the 24-70 VR is not as sharp in center as its predecessor but has Improved image quality across the focal plane , which is according to the old ZEISS-Leitz-Nikon philosophy which suits me fine,furthermore it should have outstanding Infinity quality which I am after , have not " tested " mine yet apart from its VR , which is Superb , so I am rather pleased.
