If you're quoting Klaus' verdict, Rover: He said "clearly better" which sounds in my ears a bit different than "mostly better" 
Anyway, after all those people going crazy about this Sigma somebody needs to find some scratches in the glory, I guess :lol:
Interesting list, Scythels. I just checked, I bought my Sigma 8 days later from the 70-200/4 which was quite fresh at the end of 2012, too. Would've save you $600-1000. Roger's article Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Arrives. Announces New World Order. was from 2012-11-21.
And comparing a non-AF Zeiss 25/2.8 with a still great 14-24/2.8... hm, well I feel them different things. But after all who knows what I would go for today? And in the end it's always better to use the stuff we have instead of keep on waiting, hoping, complaining. Deciding against D600 could've saved you the latter, too.
