I agree, in some ways, as I shoot for museums. But I'd also say that this has much to do with fussy designers. And I still say that the inherent distortion of the stretch is the biggest problem. If I absolutely needed critical sharpness across the entire plane, I'd be strongly considering stitching less wide FL captures. Generally what we do for extra critical work. Understood that this is sometimes not possible.
But if you are selling, then I highly recommend renting a 25 to see for yourself. It would be a business expense, after all.
