I have this lens and I also have the 28-135 IS. I have not made any critical comparisons of these two lenses but I would say that they are about equally sharp and contrasty. At the wide end the 28-70 shows a bit more distortion than the 28-135.
The 28-135 is the one that I normally use as my standard zoom, mainly because of the IS and longer zoom range, but I still plan to keep the old one for when I want to use a smaller and lighter zoom.
EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 II - how good is it?
