Those are impressive results. Definitely something to consider. Right now, my 2x zoom is an OM 35-70/4, which can only be described as 'decent'.
I owned a Minolta 35-70 3.5 and a Canon FD 35-70 f4 at the same time, the canon was a better lens. Sharper wide open and stopped down, focused twice as close throughout the range (but no macro mode), and in general just a better optic throughout the range. The haptics though are awful, the inner elements ride on a plastic thread so infinity would sometimes be on the hard stop, other times be at the 5ft marker. If only it were better built, it would be incredibly hard to fault! It is cheaper though, mine sat unsold on eBay for $15 for a month before I decided to just keep it
