I think your mortal hands would do just fine. I would get one if I did not
already have a CV 10 and 12 mm. You can keep an eye on the mortals on FM.
I was never quite attracted to the sonnie 24 GM but this lens looks quite nice.
The 20/1.8 is a nice lens but not quite the GM level this 14 is. What I like
about the 20 is the close focus, which this 14mm lens also has. (20mm close):

I didn't quite understand bokeh on 14mm but a couple of the shots on the Albert
Dros link make an interesting case. And nice that his images can be viewed
larger.
And even more amazing, he has a camera strap on the camera. Of course it does
say Sony, so I guess that makes is OK.
