At least on the f/2.8 lenses. There have been a few times I would have liked some VR on my 18-70, but it's, at best, half a stop slower and, at worst, a full stop and a third slower than an f/2.8. That half stop is often all I would need.

Of course, 18-70 on a crop is a 27-105, which is considerably longer than the 24-70 is when on a full-frame.
