Advice on 24mm and 17mm T/S lenses

Hello Canon family,

I’m looking for a bit of advice on tilt shift lenses please. I bought a Canon 24mm 3.5 T/S II and the 17mm T/S a few years ago  and have used them extensively for architectural photography. The 24mm is used 80% of the time on either on a Sony A7r or Leica SL2. I’ve found both the lenses incredibly useful.

But I was wondering if there is anything better available now? The 17mm flares very easily and has some distortion. The 24mm, whilst great, needs a lot of light and isn’t the sharpest.

Any ideas welcomed, I just wondering if it’s time to update/switch system.

Thank you

Paul
