Lenstip results for the 12-35 were also quite positive (more so than I expected). They did notice the steep distortion but it bothered them less. They were also quite a bit more positive about the 60f2.8 than photozone. One negative about lenstip testing is that they still use a 12mp camera; though they do cover all the major areas (distortion, bokeh, flare, ...). I think part of the difference is how they weigh things. For example it seems to me that photozone is quite harsh on vignetting (this is not a comment on correctness) relative some other sites. For DxOMark I have no clue what method they are using as I can never make sense of the end results.

For me personally I dislike distortion, flare and especially CA but can be a bit forgiving on vignetting and corner resolution in most cases so I try to read reviews to see what they dislike not the actual end score.
I am also very interesting in decentered comments. I'm really kind of disgusted with the number of lenses (including olympus primes) that have issues.
