One comment (1/8/13) did actually mention the Samyang:
"I have a Samyang 14mm, a distortion champion. but also a lens with a remarkable resolution, out in to the most extreme corners. And correcting the distortion does sacrifice some of that resolution."
In actual practice, it's not a big deal, as you say,
but by the same token, it also means that measurebation results
do not provide a strong argument for preferring the Samyang over the DA 15.

One typical case is when you're looking down on a flat plane.
The bottom edge of the image is then closer than the center.
