It's definitely better, if only by a small amount than the 21/3.4 SA.
It will generally do a better job of fine details in the corners,
even with both lenses at f/4, and it has better eveness of
illumination. At f/8 and beyond, the only difference is in the
eveness of illumination. On the other hand, while the SA has
essentially _no_ distortion, the 21/4 VC lens has a tiny bit,
although not nearly as much as the 21 ASPH.
The 21/4 VC lens looks and feels very well built in comparison to
everything except Leica lenses :-)!
