I find the pseudo-macro very convenient and miss it on the 24-120. Additionally, I like the variable 2.8-4 aperture better than the fixed f/4. 17mm at f2.8 is very useful indoor for instance (and it stays f2.8 up to 21mm). Finally, I appreciate the smaller size factor.
Now, the 24-120 has the advantage of being wider which is a plus and it's a bit longer although I wouldn't miss it I think.
