I was surprised when I zoomed both images to be the same large size on my
screen, they appeared to be equally sharp. I just guessed it was due to both
being sharper than the web display but being compressed ... enlarging in IE
could add more blurring of reason though.
On a separate note there is a big black lens on ebay for $721 which would
look very nice with a silver schnozz

The price may not change dramatically because "Front glass: Decent. Many
scratches and scuffs all over the front element". It otherwise looks very
nice.
