Re: Here's an easy way to think about lenses:

Your analysis Ignores one key dimension: Image Quality

I've tried to classify by specifications, eg Benz E Class vs BMW 5 Series vs Audi A6 vs Lexus GS.
The image quality is best represented by 4-way comparison tests like these: http://youtu.be/T3UfbsdfUu8
Great video - the 18-35 does come out best on image quality...

Of course. If image quality (and build quality and speed) is your top concern, the choice is starkly clear, the Sigma 18-35.
