despite the brilliance of my new D700 with primes, and a good choice for medium-long zoom, Nikon have nothing to answer the canon 24-105mm (i.e relatively light, f4 or above and VR), so I would like folks recommendation for good walk about zooms

So far I have seen:

1. Nikon 24-120mm (IQ seems suspect)
2. Nikon 24-85mm f2.8-f4 (any good - 7.9 on fredmiranda, not great score)
3. 24-70mm f2.8 (very good, but no VR and monster heavy and costly)
4. Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 (seems good value - variable manufacture - anyone any feedback)
5. Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 (seems to be getting good reviews)

any ideas ?
