The 5D mkII image quality is an improvement over the 40D, but it it a $2000 improvement? That's a question only you can answer. The video capability is good only because of the lenses that you can use on it. The audio sucks though unless you use external mics, as you can clearly hear the AF motors when they move, and you can also hear a grinding when you focus manually.

You can buy the 5D mkII kit with the 24-105, then buy the 24-70 in the future. Sell the 24-105 at a later date...you won't lose much money.
