The only drawback: you can't have it 6-bit coded because of its rear construction. If you can do without the coding: keep it . Considered that you pay just a bit less for a new 35lux, an average s/h price of about 3000 Euro is not worth letting it go.
I agree. I own and use both the 1.0 Noctilux (older version with no built in hood), the 1.2 Noctilux and the 35/1.4 ashperical. In my subjective view the 1.2 version draws better than the 1.0 that I have. This may be because of quality spread, etc. but is my consistent SUBJECTIVE impression.
Selling the aspherical for the 1.0 Noctilux will not IMHO result in better pictures for you.
I have also never experienced colour problems with the aspherical 35mm as far as I can remember.
