For me, personally, the best balance is the Sigma 35 / 1.4A (I really love that lens). But were someone to offer to either let me keep my lens or choose another 35mm prime in exchange for my lens at no expense to me, I'd take the 35 / 1.4L II.

That sounds like quite fickle love.

In all seriousness though, I think this is true for most because the 35L II is nearly 3 times the price of the Sigma, so on paper you'd be daft not to. However, I would personally only do so if I could first run side by side comparisons with how I normally use the lens because you never know - you could have a spectacular copy of the Sigma, and an under-par copy of the Canon.

Having said that though, you could always then sell the 35L II and buy a Sigma 24, 35 & 50 f/1.4 for around the same price.

Cheers,

Mark.
