At the wide end it becomes an effective 38.4mm, so in actual fact it'll be slightly worse than a 35mm on a full frame. I think it should be ok, but best if you try. Take your point & shoot, set it in approx 38mm focal length if possible of course, sit comfortably and take a picture of your main course dinner tonight at home.
They are both good lenses, though large. Especially the 24-70, it is pretty big & heavy - are you sure you would like to go round and about with something like this attached to your (small) 450D? If you believe the improvement in quality is worth the stretch, go for it; but keep in mind that these lenses (and especially the 24-70) are much better suited to full frame bodies. With some waiting or saving, you could buy a 5D II (even a refurbished 5D would do) and then pair that with a 24-105/4L or a 17-40/4L - the latter would blow your mind away in wides, believe me...
Of course your opinion may vary. I have also heard that the 24-70/2.8L is due for an upgrade sometime soon, but have yet to see it coming...
