Well I am not sure this reply will help you but I had the 14-24mm as well, and did not like the size and weight. I looked at alternatives and finally I sold it and the D700, picked up a 5DII and a Zuiko 21mm f/3.5. The lens is very small and very sharp. I use the 5DII for landscape, cityscape and other situations where fast focusing is not needed (since all the lenses I use on it are MF). Moreover, I still have and use all my Nikkor AIS glass with the 5DII. This may not be your cup of tea, but for me, I grew up using a Nikon FM so all manual is no problem. For other applications the D200/D300 and MKIII suffice for fast focusing. Again, probably not the type of reply you wanted but I did start off with similar dissatisfaction over the 14-24mm.
