Fuji 14mm vs Samyang 12mm

I do love my Samyang 12mm which surprisingly spends a lot of time on my X-E2.

I am tempted to buy a used Fuji 14mm at the right price, but wonder if it's really worth over double the money? Of course the advantage of the Fuji is AF, but with the incredible depth of field of the 12mm at f8 - everything from 3ft to infinity is very sharp. The Samyang also gives me almost a stop more wide open too - f2 compared to f2.8.

Has anyone else here made the upgrade and not regretted their decision?

Thanks

Mike
