What I will do is look at the photos I've sold the past year, see 
what percentage of them were made with fast wide-angle lenses, and 
decide if I can sell enough to justify getting a 21/1.4.  My M8's 
have paid for themselves several times over, but it may take longer 
to justify a lens that expensive.  I would also have to convince my 
business manager that the lens is a crucial addition to my equipment. 
;-) I'm sure most people who make a living with their photography 
would approach a new purchase the same way.
