Having both lenses I might humbly suggest that you try them in the store before you buy either. The advantages and disadvantages have been discussed in this thread but the experience of using the two lenses is quite different. The DA 14 is wider, closer focusing and gives a much brighter viewfinder image. These are the traits that I consider most important for most photographic situations. If you are using the lens for backpacking etc., the nod would go to the DA15 without question. IQ is nearly indistinguishable. That said, most of the memorable images i have shot in the past few years are with the DA 14. I can't say that yet of the DA 15. I bought the DA15 due to its diminutive size and have no regrets. If I could only pick one lens however, it would the the DA 14.
