The "brick" is often considered Canon’s best midrange zoom - and perhaps the best midrange zoom of any SLR manufacturer.
Many people have trouble choosing between this lens and the 24-105mm f/4 L IS. There's no right answer; they're both great lenses. The advantages of this lens compared to the 24-105 are that it’s a full stop faster, may be sharper, and exhibits less distortion, especially at the wide end. On the other hand it's bigger and heavier; it has a little less range and does not have Image Stabilization.
Why not rent both, and compare them for yourself?
