There's of course an easy answer: get both
In seriousness, I got the 77ltd when it came out, and used it for years on my MZ-S before digital came around. As I still have (and use) the MZ-S as well as digital, the fact that it can be used on both is an enormous advantage of the 77ltd, which the 70mm doesn't bring.
Yeah, I tried the 70mm also, and it's a great lens too, but didn't bring anything that my 77mm didn't already give.
I can say, though, that the 77ltd is a great lens, and I even use it on my Q also
