the internal design is actually a touch closer to that of the 24-105, although still a good deal different (not surprising it might be a bit more similar since it\'s not a reverse zoom and neither is the 24-105 while the original 24-70 is): http://cweb.canon.jp/ef/lineup/standard-zoom/ef24-105-f4l/spec.html
note also how the sharpness of the 24-105 on FF just utterly dies on FF edges compared to the new 24-70 II (or 24 1.4 II or 24 2.8 IS)
(of course do take the MTF charts with a grain of salt, they are just weird Canon computer simulations of their desin)
The new 24-70 II isn\'t like the Nikon 24-70 design either, not remotely close, although they both use 3 aspherical and 3 UD (well, some sites say the canon uses 2UD and 1 SUD), the Nikon design is a touch closer to the old Canon design but quite different from that as well: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/normalzoom/af-s_zoom24-70mmf_28g/
