I have a friend who also feels this way. He owns
several ultra wide angle Sigma pro lenses. He says
they're tack sharp.

I think what that company is suffering from is a
stigma from many years ago, back in the 70s and 80s,
when there probably WAS a difference in quality. But
I've been told that in recent years that they've
certainly caught up.

What a feather in their cap for them, that they are in
bed with Foveon. This one thing alone will catapult
their name and perception leaps and bounds.

I, too, bet that there are several people at Nikon and
Canon who are polishing off their rear-view mirrors
right now. It's now a three-horse race.

I can't find that URL from Stephen Johnson, who tested
the Foveon on his kids and wife, but they're stunning
images, even on the web.
