I think we are in agreement. The DXOnark comment was related to being able to "experience" the difference vs "understanding" the difference. DXOMark will tell you the difference in the lens performance and is part of mybcriteria also for deciding on lenses...no one ever cried looking at an MTF chart but a weĺl PP'd photo from a FF camera and sharp lens at 1.8aperature has illicited some tears....not saying a kit lens on a crop camera shot in jpeg at 3.5 cant do the same but...well....its just not the same....je ne sais quois... :-)

Gear Acquisiton Syndrome ... distinguishing features of this affliction are the need to acquire more gear with no real discernable need other than "jus cuz".
Not be confused with Gear Aquisition with Cause (GAWC) - same as GAS but with a lofty and well practiced justification on the specific professional "need" for the lens.
Difference between the 2 is negligible. I am a GAWCer but about 75% is really just GAS.
...in the end, if it makes you happy and sparks your love of photography and you are not dipping into the kids University bank or going without food, load up on the gear !!
(P.S. I made up GAWC ... its not a "thing" )

Gear Acquisition Syndrome
A term to describe, and, here on the Hog it seems, to denigrate people who buy new gear. As opposed to keeping and using your old gear until the Smithsonian comes looking for it.
