Same experience here with Canon lenses. Both my old 20-35/2.8L and  
17-35/2.8L produce consistently much better images than the 20/2.8  
and 35/2 primes, and just a tad better than the 35/1.4L and 24/2.8.  
The 28/2.8 maybe the cheaper lens in that focal length range, gives  
about the same quality of the L zooms.
