Ok first let me confess I'm a Canon man.... ok now thats out of the way...
Now I used to think the same way, and in fact bought Canon's 24-105 f4 because of the IS... and dont get me wrong its a great lens but IS wont stop motion & IS wont blur backgrounds so about 12 months ago I bought the 24-70 f2.8 (no IS) and while I still have the 24-105 I havent used it since and must get round to putting it on ebay.
Ok if you can afford f2.8
and IS - go for it, otherwise Id go for the faster lens every time
