When thinking of the corresponding Nikkor the price difference IS significant whereas the 2 Canons aren't quite as apart.
And the 24-70/4 is more expensive than the 24-105/4 in any case.

Using dollars (can't find the euro MSRPs right now)...
Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f2.8: MSRP: $1890
Nikon AF-S 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 VR : MSRP: $600
Difference Nikon: $1290 (taxed)
Difference Canon: €1182 (not taxed)
Seems just as significant a difference to me... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Yes, the 24-70mm f4 L IS USM is more expensive than the 24-105mm f4 L IS USM. For that you get better optics (according to MTFs and Canon) and hybrid IS + 0.7x macro mode.
One can choose.
