It is my honest and heartfelt opinion that high quality variable aperture is just fine when it is starting at f2.8 on lenses like these. The modern photographer has far too much ISO to spend and I just don't see much reason to fuss over a 1 stop loss from wide to long. It is a good compromise that makes the lenses a little smaller.
I think a lot of people are hung up on constant aperture and f2.8 in particular without really thinking through the need vs. want equation.

They seem to be pricing it as if it were a competitor to medium format. Slap a red dot on that sucker and the price starts to make sense...
Look at the SL lenses... sheesh.
16-35 f3.5-4.5 is nearly $5500
24-90 f2.8-4 is roughly $4200
90-280 f2.8-4 is about $6400
I like the 2.8-4 variable aperture on these and the extended zoom ranges on the two longer ones but the pricing is insane.
