Too many variables!
What are you trying to accomplish? What glass do you already have?
Personally, I use my 21/2 a LOT more than I use my 180/2.8. It's a newer
design, has floating elements for close focusing, and I believe it's "Reese"
numbers are better. I've always thought the 180 to be a tad soft, but maybe
it's just my sample.
But the 180 looks cooler, if you're into "neck candy."
