no I'm in no hurry and have no need to sell it. I guess I'm just asking people who have both lenses, when would you want to grab the asph version instead of the pre-asph version

I sold my ASPH, but I used to have one. 

The most meaningful difference for me (and why I am looking for an ASPH to acquire) would be that the ASPH has a much flatter field; the earlier spherical lens has notable positive field curvature. Supposedly the field flattens out toward infinity for the spherical, but I still find that I want my corners more flat at f/8 for landscape photography.

In the areas of the frame where both lenses are sharp though, I don't find there to be such a huge difference in sharpness between the two even in the center (minus the close-focus issue which the ASPH solves with the FLE)
