Wide angle for Nikon D7000?

Hi,
looking for advice on purchase of a wide angle lens for my D7000. I currently only have the 18-105 Kit lens and find I spend most of my time at the wide end.

I'd like to by a lens to extend mu FOV. There are a lot of options like the Nikon 10-24, Tokina 11-16, Sigma 10-20 and 8-16, and some Tamron glass as well.The lens will be used for mostly landscape pics, with an occassional astrophoto as well. I've read heaps of reviews, but just get a bit more confused as they seem to disagree often (sample variation?). The Nikon is the most expensive and I could go for it with a bit of waiting, but is it really better for my purposes than some of the less expensive options? I'm not in to blowing images up on the screen looking for aberrations, and most of my pics are printed at home using special pigment inks on an Epson printer at A4 size.

advice welcome!
cheers
Gary
