RF 24-240mm vs RF 70-200 f4L with Canon R7 + R6MII

I have both the R6MII and recently got the R7 - purposely for the extra distance of the crop sensor. A couple years ago I bought the RF 24-240mm lens for travel when we were heading out to Nova Scotia. Its a beautiful lens and I am now considering the 70-200 f4L for travel. I will admit I love my L lenses, however have been easing in to the switch over from EF to RF. I have a great collection of lenses with my EF L lenses - however the f2.8 ones are heavy and not easy for travel for me. I recently upgraded my EF 24-105 f4L after it fell to the RF 24-70 f2.8L - I was lucky to find it used from Henrys. 

Does anyone have the two lenses that they could compare for me... I don't think I would ever get rid of my RF24-240mm because I love it as a quick grab and go with my RP if we are heading out on the side by side or snowmobile and I can only take one option. 

My heart is pulling me to the 70-200 f4L - for the size and weight and of course L quality. 

But... how does it compare to the 24-240? Obviously better being the f4L... Im very curious as I do feel such a strong pull here!

Marc those are great shots! I really like your first one! Im thinking this will be a good option for me, when one comes up used for sale, until then I will push my 24-240mm 🙂 If one comes up its meant to be!

I must warn you Marc is probably not the best to judge a lens by. He seems to get the best from just about everything he does or has. He diffidently displays what is possible. Sometimes talent makes a huge difference. There have been a couple here on the forum during my tenure but Marc is here now.

EOS 1DX and many lenses.

Oh Ive definitely got some great shots on this lens, it came to Nova Scotia with me twice and I had spectacular shots!  This is a personal decision of my own shooting style 🙂
