I need some advice...

I've got the opportunity to pick up a MC 180/2.8 for $299 + tax.  Glass is
exceptionally clear and it comes w/heliopan UV filter.  It's definitely in
user condition showing a good amount of silver, but no dents or dings.
Aperture is snappy and oil free.  I'm all about buying gear to use, so
that¹s not a problem for me.

Considering KEH had a 'bargain' grade lens for ~$350 not too long ago, I'm
thinking this might be a good deal and I should jump on it.

Only problem is I have this focal length covered with my 65-200/4.  I also
was planning on a beefier tripod before any more lenses.  And then it was a
showdown between the 180 and a 35/2.

So should I jump in and get this lens?  Is it a deal I'll be kicking myself
for missing?  Is the quality much better than the 65-200?

Thanks for any 'help.'

Mike
