Still, it's not the same lens. And as great as your shots are, I always say that images edited and sized for the web aren't the best examples of a lens' technical performance. When you reduce an image size and resharpen for the web, a lot of details and flaws disappear (and not just related to lens quality). For example, a shot with high ISO and lots of digital noise will look beautifully sharp if you run a noise reduction on it, size it down for the web and then sharpen. You won't even see the noise. Likewise, softness from the lens won't show. A 100% crop tells a lot more so I'd more likely to judge off the image quality comparison tool at TPD.
