The real question that nobody is asking, or answering, is this: Do you want a portable, travel-ready wide-angle lens that you can pop in your bag and use occasionally, or do you want a flagship-grade, beast of a lens so that you can get very seriously into shooting at such ultra-wide focal lengths, and make that a key part of your style?
Because, quite honestly, those two "extremes" are very far apart.
The 14-24, and all the other ultra-wide zooms that go wider than 16mm or 17mm, have a massive front element that you can't easily cover with a standard filter, and you'll have to buy a relatively large and cumbersome clamp-on filter system instead. Lenses like the Nikon 16-35 f/4 or the (new) Tamron 17-35, on the other hand, accept front filters, and the Tamron in particular is extremely portable compared to the others.
They're all ridiculously sharp, by the way, especially if you're shooting landscapes stopped down anyways.
(Don't bother with the Nikon 17-35, by the way; it's worse than the Nikon 16-35 f/4 VR, even when it's stopped down to f/4 or 5.6.)
So, ask yourself that first question, (and be very sure you know the answer, too) and then you'll know which lens to get.
Or, of course, you could just trade in your D750 for a Z6, and get the 14-30mm f/4. :-D
