I agree. But what I'd like to see is a corner vs. centre sharpness comparison, as that's the real weakness of the Canon ultra-wides. Light falloff is rather endemic, and I suspect the 1DsmII has some compensation in the microlens design (given a camera twice as costly, Canon has a little more wiggle-room for costly sensor modifications to reduce issues like this)
