I also use the 180 lens for a year so far; the 90/2AA for the Leica for
two  years
I get better quality, more formalized less spontaneous head shots with
the 180; and that is on medium format format. Quite a bit more acreage
than 35mm format.
So I've not been able to make a call as to which lense is better, Its
very hard to do when they are going into two different formats. Very
hard to do.
