I'm not a fan on variable aperture zoom lenses, but that's mostly my own personal preference and because I shoot in manual and don't like not being able to use the same aperture at all focal lengths of the lens. This is also why I like my 28-75mm since I can shoot at 2.8 no matter if I'm shooting at 28mm or 75mm. Not too long after I got my camera I bought a 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 lens and it took great shots outdoors but at the time I was shooting mostly in P mode so the camera was choosing the ap for me so it wasn't an issue. Once I made the switch to Manual mode I just didn't like shooting with it so I bought the Tamron and then I ended up selling the 28-105mm earlier this summer along with my never used kit lens to fund my 85mm 1.8. So it's probably a perfectly good lens, but not one that I would buy for myself.
