I would compare a high-quality, sharp, high-resolution lens with another 
high-quality, sharp, high-resolution lens. Maximum aperture isn't 
everything.

Did you also think it was ludicrous to compare an f1.4 lens with an f1.9 
when someone compared the FA50/1.4 to the FA43 limited I while back?

But we weren't discussing "a 1.4 lens". We were discussing a certain 
Pentax lens that someone said were almost as good as a much more 
expensive Leica in terms of sharpness, resolution etc.
