I originaly bought my 24-70 from amazon.com, but then they emailed me and said i needed more verification to use my card, so i called and they told me it was going to take 3-5 buisness days to get the verification from my cc company. so i told them forget it i want to cancel, they said no problem cancled, so i went and bought it somewhere els and received it yesterdays, then i got home in and checked my email and what did it say, YOUR ORDER HAS SHIPPED, ha lol so now i have 2
24-70 lenses, obvioulsy im going to send one back, but, wow, to have to sitting in my house is great,

Exact same thing happened to me - when I ordered my Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 online, then went out and bought one 'cause I couldn't wait 3 weeks! Now we have 1 for the 20D, and 1 for the 10D - worked out great!

Gee, with shipping costs and the hassle and all...you'd be better off just selling it to me for oh, say...$600?

Quick, whole you have both, do some testing and see if one performs visibly better than the other. Test at 24mm ad 70mm at f/2.8. Look at sharpness in corners and center of frame, and also do a test for CA, e.g. dark, fine branches against bright sky.
