Mikeybob, what the salesman told you is silly nonsense. New optics do the same thing with light as older ones. But that is very (VERY) often that way... salesmen have almost never any idea what they are babbling about, be it audio, computer, camera, bbq or whatever else equipment.
The 24mm f2.8 is actually quite a nice lens (kinda a hidden gem in the Canon line up), and should give good to very good results. The 50mm f1.4 is quite a nice lens too, it is a mainstay lens of many a 5D.
Like Win says, they should have little trouble at equalling or bettering your 24-105mm f4 L USM.
Without seeing any samples, it is hard to guess at what is plaguing your results.
