I'm going to get killed for this and I'm not necessarily referring to any particular photographer but everyone posting lens comparison questions on flickr should know this:
The types of people who buy and use lens X may have more skills, both with camera and computer than the types of people who buy lens Y.
The only real comparison is for the same person to test the lenses on a single body with a single skill set, etc.
There maybe technical rationales for lenses but the images that people post to "prove" things about them are not great indicators of anything as we all have different skills with our gear.
And, let me beat this drum again for those of you who don't get it. If you are concerned with aperture a zoom lens with fixed aperture through the zoom range, f/2.8 or f/4 may be more useful to you as aperture will not change in zooming.
There is a reason why most L zooms have fixed aperture.
