I'm thinking of getting another 24-105 just for day to day shooting. if I do it'll be my 3rd time getting this lens. I have a love/hate relationship with it especially at night. lol

What's to hate?

I don't know which body you're using, but I love mine at night with my 5D MkIII. The IS really gives some extra flexibility and don't be afraid to shoot at ISO 3200 and 6400.

I have a 5DMKIII as well and on 2 occasions I used it at events that went from mid day to the night and it just wasnt great at night for me. Could be since at that time I wasnt bumping the ISO that far up and since I was going from photo to video.

Try auto ISO with the mark iii

Yeah, there's no hope without getting the ISO up. One way to go, as mentioned, is Auto ISO. I like Aperture preferred and then control SS with ISO and/or aperture. There are a number of options, but mainly keep an eye on the SS.
