I can't compare my 28/2.8 with the 2.0 because I don't have a 2.0, but I've
put together an image taken with the Zuiko 28/2.8 and a comparison with the
Zuiko 35-80/2.8 @35mm:

(Unfortunately, these are examples of WA images that don't have the desired
impact in web sizes, a la Moose's recent comment.)
I guess I am in the market eventually for the 28/2 because of most people's
experience with it, and I really enjoy the focal length, but I'm not in a rush
as the 28/2.8 has been a good performer for me. I usually stop down to f8 or
f11 and focus hyperfocally. When I hear someone complain about this lens, I
am suspicious of handheld/wide-open/focusing errors.
