Forget about the link I gave Tony, Thought I'd check on his Web Site , "NOTHING" Thats not good
Look. This is about (memory??) the first time I've answered any thread on lenses, especially Canon lenses.
But I just want to go back to your original post, and you seem to want to check out the difference between the 28-105L and your 18-55 Canon kit lens.
Well, it may be a bit technical, but hey, it's out there, and as part of your guide have a look at the MTF charts for the two lenses.
I found one for the 28-105L at:

(scroll till you find it.)
If you "Google Canon 18-55 MTF" you'll get to here as one of the first in the list.

Edit: OK, Y my sudden interest? I'm looking for a "suitable lens" also.

I own a 24-105 L have had no issues with it have it for the past one year. I have used it on my 7d and 5d 2 had no issues so far.

I'd also like to recommend the 17-55 2.8 IS as a high quality walk-around lens for crop-sensor bodies; and the 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM for full-frame.
I have the latter setup, and it's a fantastic and capable lens - optically better than the 24-70mm f/2.8 USM (in particular, less optical distortion), and the 24-105mm is suited to low-light shooting in a different way to the absolute lens speed of the 24-70: you get an extra stop of shutter speed on the 24-70, but you get three stops of stabilisation on the 24-105.
