Pentax FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited samples

Why oh why did I start reading this thread?!
Amazing results with this lens.
I was set on the DA 70mm but now I just don't know. Even thou the DA 70 gives nice bokeh I think I like the colors better on the FA 77...
Luckily for me is a friend of mine will lend out his DA 70 and FA 77 for me to try. As for now I just can't decide!
