My question is:
It seems that the consensus is that the 43mm limited is a little better overall, however is it worth the extra $200?
I'm sure that many answers will be "thats up to you" however I was hoping someone would humour me...
Please?

lol thanks for any and all input
I own both. I do not think the 43 is a better lens, just different. The 40 is sharper from edge to edge and the 43 is sharper in the center, rendering it perhaps more interesting for wide open portrait work. I.e. f 2.0 to f 2.8. the 40 is a brutally sharp lens across the entire spectrum.
