So what makes the 35L2 special (asks the guy who placed an order for it today)?
Rendering style, overall sharpness (it's still very sharp), and technical control of common optical faults.
As with all things, you've gotta determine if it's special enough for the price... compared to the alternatives.
With a lens like this-- given the alternatives-- buying it solely for a sharpness advantage probably isn't a wise move, because even if it was the sharpest of the bunch (which it may or may not be)-- the top few are so damn sharp that I just don't think you'll notice in the real world.
Stuff like distortion, minimum focus distance, light fall-off, size, AF speed/accuracy, CAs (of all sorts), etc, etc, differentiate the various fast 35mm lenses much more than sharpness, IMO.
