It might be a bit sharper but I don't know if that really matters.
The big advantages that I see in the f1.8, as I say above, are the f1.8 and the close focus ability. The close focus ability brings perspective into play so another option is to increase the distance, thus altering the perspective, and crop... but if doing that I might as well use the f2.8. I don't think that the focus speed is too much of an issue for me but for others this could be another big factor.
I'll take a few months to use the f1.8 and have a think but I see advantages in both lenses. For the f1.8 it's the aperture and close focusing ability and for the f2.8 it's compactness. I could always keep both and use the f2.8 when I want the smallest form factor, days out and holidays with other people, and the f1.8 for the odd trip out by myself or just with Mrs WW who's used to me taking a camera out and taking pictures of stuff.
