I keep looking at the RF 24-105mm f4 and the 24-70mm f2.8 but I'm legit spiraling. My logic was the 24-105 has better range for my Italy trip next month but people say f4 sucks for night shots so I'm scared I'll regret it. Only got $2400 for this and really cant mess it up...

I went through this exact same struggle before a trip to Rome a few years back. Choosing the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM ended up being the right move and I didnt regret it for a second.
- extra reach for tight architectural details
- much lighter for those long walking days
- leaves about $1100 in your pocket for a fast prime like the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM The R5 sensor handles high ISO like a champ, so shooting at f/4 at night isnt the disaster people claim. If youre really worried about the dark, just rely on that IBIS. Its incredible and works well for long exposures. The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is a beast, but for travel, that 105mm reach is king. Tbh, spending your entire $2400 budget on one heavy lens might make you less likely to carry it everywhere.
