Is there a difference in optical quality / sharpness between the Canon RF 24-70 f2.8 L IS USM lens and the RF 24-105 f4 L IS USM lens? Or is the difference between the two lenses only in the aperture (i.e., f2.8 vs f4)?

Which approach would you recommend? In light of your response and really helpful reviews, I was thinking about the following line up:Not Klaus, but exactly my setup for the same reasons, and that works well indeed. Both F/1.2 lenses give results that make you never look back at the price you had to pay for them, that is how good they both are. Bokeh, sharpness, rendition, they are just fabulous, and the 85 is even a tad better than the 50. With the EF-versions you tended to shoot at F/2.8 in order to get enough DoF, but the RF versions are so sharp that you don't notice the lack of DoF even at F/1.2, and de fall-off of focus both in back- and foreground with both lenses is so beautiful and gradual, it is (almost) to die for, if you'd ask me in any case.
1. RF 50mm f1.2 L IS USM
2. RF 85mm f1.2 L IS USM
3. RF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM
The RF 50mm f1.2 and RF 85mm f1.2 would do the heavy lifting, while the RF 24-105mm f4 would give me some flexibility with focal length when necessary. Alternatively, I could remove the RF 24-105mm f4 (and perhaps the RF 50mm f1.2), and replace it with the RF 28-70mm f2 USM L. However, I wonder if the RF 28-70mm f2 will end up being too big / heavy to shoot with in practice. I’ve also shot with the RF 50mm f1.2 and really liked it. Thanks in advance for any insights / suggestions.
