And here are some shots with the 7-14mm f/4, all of them are at 7mm, so not possible with the 9-18mm

Only you can decide if the extra cost, weight, size and lack of filters is offset by the ability to shoot at 7mm. For me, I decided to go with the 9-18mm as I find it good enough.

For me some of there are perfekt examples of why being able to capture it ALL isn’t everything. Yeah, every part of the building is in the shot, but sometimes also distorted due to lens effect and without any mitigating artistic intention or side effect. The second to last shot was the only one that achieved a bit more to be worth the taking

Sometines it’s also better to choose something to say something with.

Im not sure super wide lenses are really of meaningful value outside of the real estate biz or official photography. For non-pros on a holiday I think other lenses can do more for you relative to effort of taking them and protecting them from theft etc.
