Great combo, I used to have it, but sold them once I picked up some other lenses in mm I preferred to shoot in

You mean too narrow. But I agree 28-75 is not nearly as useful as 24-70. The vast majority of photographers won't notice the difference between 70 and 75 (you could always cheat and crop in a little if that's really the framing you're after), but you'll likely frequently have trouble trying to fit everything into the frame even at 24mm. And the 4mm jump up to 28mm is not insignificant.
That said, I think the Sony 24-105 f/4 which should cost about the same as this is a more versatile lens. I'm grossly generalizing here but the 70 to 105 increase at the upper end is very significant and probably more useful to most users (ESPECIALLY hobbyists). I have both (mark 1 of this Sigma lens) and this is true for me as a professional in a commercial setting. Despite having f/2.8, you really don't want to open it up that wide most of the time.
Look at a few online galleries and decide, they're both great, but only can decide if it's worth the price increase.
