Hi,
I don't have the newest elmarit. I have the one before and that is 
already more lens than I'll ever need. I guess the asph is even better.
Vignetting has never bothered me. On the m8 it will be less and can 
easily be taken care of in PS if nescecaary.
Erwin Puts has done a test

If you want a distortion free and flare resistance lens this is the one. 
If you want wide open performance the version before or the summicron is 
better.
