The Tokina is fairly cheap, especially used. The price discrepancy is probably going to be nowhere near the Samyang 14 vs. 14L level. I think this was a bit of a faux pas for good old Samyang, at least until they enter 21st century with AF and proper aperture control for ALL mounts. Oh, and make an appropriately smaller version for the mirrorless mounts, like they did with the fisheye - the size difference was remarkable and it turned out a very sharp lens despite the downsizing.

If it's anything like the 14mm you're looking at an inexpensive, high quality lens in terms of optics, but so-so build quality and lousy QC. It will also almost assuredly have a much better MF ring than the Tokina, if you don't like AF (as many of us here in the Alt forum don't) it's got a fair bit of win.
It will also have Aperture automation in Nikon and Pentax mounts. It's only Sony, Canon and mirrorless users (aside from K-01 users) who lose out on that.
