Should I sell my MATE?

Do you think a single focal length would be different?

 

The technical data sheets on Leica's web site for each lens give nice grid plots showing the effective distortion. Based on these plots the 21mm setting looks similar to the 21mm f3.4 Super Elmar lens but the 18mm setting looks like it would be noticeably more distorted towards the edge of the frame than the 18mm f3.4 Super Elmar lens.

 

The Zeiss 21mm f4.5 biogon would not show these artifacts to any discernable amount, but it appears to be problematic for use on digital bodies (e.g., producing colour shifts at the edges).
