Well thats one approach... I think that a aesthetic approach is more valid... All lenses are compromised to a extent.... and it's up to the snapper to decide which of these compromises is more crucial to them...

Let's say you shot the same [representative] scenes with both lenses on both cameras with the same settings, and noticed that, more or less, they were about the same, or that one lens produced, on average, the more pleasing bokeh.  Then what are the odds that in your real life photography you would get different results?

mind, I am a hypocrite in this regards as I wouldn't put anything by sigma on a camera unless I was going to be making a insurance claim....

To each their own.  Myself, I own seven lenses -- four Canon and three Sigma.  If and when the rumored Sigma 24 / 1.4 comes out this fall, the balance will flip in favor of Sigma.
