Lumix S 16-35mm F4 vs 24-60 F2.8 for travel

So, I use a Lumix S5II, I started first with a 20-60mm which was then replaced by a Sigma 45mm F2.8 because most of my shots were around that focal range, which I love.

Eventually I added a Sigma 20mm F2 to my kit, but soon realized that lens swapping during trips ends up getting quite inconvenient, especially when I'm travelling with other people.

Because of this I'm hoping to sell the Sigma 20mm F2 (which I normally use in interiors) and get a zoom that could take care of most scenarios, so I don't feel like swapping as much. I do find those extra 4mm on the wide end super fun and useful for most stylistic shots.

Given this, I have always loved the Lumix 24-70 S PRO but after trying out on store I realized the size is simply unmanageable, but the look on that lens is simply something else... I wonder how close the 16-35mm is in terms of rendering, micro contrast and colors? At the same time the 24-60 F2.8 is obviously brighter and a bit more flexible, but I wonder if the rendering would look as good as those primes I had.

Any help (or other recommendations) are welcomed!
