The deliberation is pretty much "14-24 - zoom + AF" "21 - filters"
I primarily shoot landscapes, so the whole autofocus this is mostly a nonissue for me. It's nice, and a convenience, but I can't think of a time where I will frequently be shooting than 35mm where I'll need AF.
In the end, I'm going to buy a wide prime/zoom. It'll happen sooner or later. I'm more loyal to price than any one brand, and optical quality is #1 if price is close. It just so happens that canon has the better optics, and the better price by a very significant margin.
