Mike, I thought you were looking to purchase *now*, as you said hopefully in 2 months time lots of new gear will be out and you will be able to get the gear you want even cheaper!
Maybe you had a bad copy? I've never heard a complain about the Samyang 14mm about sharpnesss.
There's no such a thing as uncorrectable distortion.
The distortion is easy to fix with PtLens. When I notice it I just fix it.
