Testing my new 24-70 2.8 II and 6D

So I just bought a brand new 6D + 24.70 2.8 II and after doing some quick tests I'm not sure if this is it or I was expecting too much. I definitely haven't seen the WOW factor from the 24-70 II that I was expecting after reading several reviews and observing others pictures.

I have purchased Reikan Focal to test and set the lens and it suggested +3 AFMA on both wide and tele. I am attaching my results here and can someone comment if this is good enough or not ? I saw others posting over 2,000 quality of focus results with this lens but I'm not sure what exactly this means?

I definitely haven't tested this lens enough to come to any conclusions but I did notice it seems a bit too soft at 2.8 and 24mm - 35mm. Will post some real life images as soon as possible.
