Not as I see it. If I was after that kind of lens I'd buy the Samyang, correct the distortion in PP and live with the MF. I do like AF on every lens (even on UWA and macro I used it extensively) but at this kind of price difference I'd happily live without it.

Actually, with distortion correction having come more and more places, and the huge DOF of such a wide angle, those two points are really not that problematic. I'd go for Samyang unless I could point at a very specific reason why not.
