The Canon 11-22 is great.
did you buy the 9mm because of the 1mm bet 10mm on the Canon (the 11 goes up to around 10), or because of the 1 F stop?

I got it because I shoot a lot with my Sigma 8-16 mm lens, mostly at 8 mm. I don't mind manual focus at that FL.

the 1mm is very useful?

the 1 stop make difference only with moving subject, because the 11-22 has 3 stop worth of stabilization.

On the other hand you losing auto focus, zoom, etc.

if the main concern is the F stop for moving subjects, the Rokinon 12mm f2 is faster and cheaper.

The landscape doesn't move very fast
