I'd pay $1-2K for a breathtakingly sharp autofocusing 24mm L that didn't shoot itself in the foot (i.e. corners) to offer side a wide aperture.
I thought that the 28mm II fit the bill?? I don't own the lens, but have read some nice things about it on this forum.
28mm II? If you mean the new non-L 28mm F/2.8 IS, yes, I have it, and it's a peach. It does lack weather sealing, though. That said, it's the best option for me right now.
If you mean the 24L II prime, like many huge aperture lenses, it's an art / environmental portraiture tool. Soft in the corners, spectacular in the middle. Not for me.
Hopefully these new zooms will trump the primes like the 24-70 II has recently done. Then I'm buying for sure.
