I'm not a landscaper, but I would have thought other factors like diffraction softening, intentional non-focusing on infinity (e.g. using hyperfocal distance) and even air quality would also be significant factors in perceived performance. How much influence any specific lens has in making or breaking a shot, I don't know.
Of course, if you really do need the maximum capability at infinity, you need it. Currently I'm most active in attempting astrophotography, so that's definitely at infinity with anything closer being irrelevant. But the optics are not my biggest problem at the moment...
