Heavily leaning towards the Nikkor as I think the extra range will be useful and not sure I really need the 2.8. What makes the decision hard is that everything I have read has the Tokina to be the sharper lens(and a fair amount cheaper).
Anyone have experience with both of these? Reg, I think I remember you having, or at least trying, both. If so, what are your thoughts on these. Any input on either lense would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I've owned both lenses, mind you I owned the first version of the Tokina and found the Nikkor to be much sharper.
I rarely used it at f/2.8 as it was for architecture and night shots (used tripod at night).
I have heard that the new Tokina is better than the original.
I did find the extra mm's handy on the Nikkor as well.
That being said, some of favorite photographs were shot with the Tokina...
