The Tamron 24-70/2.8 VC is really a contender in that area. It's almost exactly the same price, size and weight as the 24-120VR, and other than missing the last bits of long end end of the zoom, it's a better lens.
Choosing between the 24-85 and the 24-120, I'd take the 24-120... The corners still aren't "good", but it's better handling and faster, and it also gives a bit more flexibility (though I never used the last 40mm much when I had one).
The problem here IGHT be that you often get very good deals on D600+24-85 kit boxes.... At least in Europe, don't know for other parts of the world. And if it weighs in nicely, it just might be worth it. It won't get close to the 24-105IS he was used to though.
