Do you mean the HSM or non-HSM?
I chose the older Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG over the newer non-HSM 24-70 because of the reviews on here and other sites, even though I was offered the 24-70 massively reduced - at the same price as the (already cheap) 24-60. I've hardly seen a complaint about the 24-60, where as the 24-70 is sometimes called soft, has flare issues, is a lot bigger and uses a 82mm thread (compared to 77mm).
