John, I don't have experience with the 31, so take this with a grain of salt. Also, I belong to the Frank Theriault school of sharpness, so I haven't shot many brick walls that didn't have interesting people hanging out nearby.
The FA35 is my favorite lens. A lot of the pictures in my photoblog are taken with it on the istD--it is my standard lens. It balances well on the istD and I'm very happy with the image quality. I don't think you will be dissappointed if you get one. The 31, while nice, seems like it would be a little bit too big for my taste.
