I have pretty limited experience when it comes to F/FA lenses but it appear to 
me that FA lenses with the same formulation as their F counterparts seemed 
better built and had a more user friendly manual focus option. The LTD lenses 
take this progression to the next level and have almost gone full circle to 
present an AF lens that feels more like a traditional MF(ocus) lens.
