"Beat off" doesn't have quite the same meaning in the U.S.

The difference between a Rolex and a Timex is that you can beat off
potential muggers with a Rolex and you won't damage the watch,

So its a status lens?

I mean a Rolex still tells time like a Casio or Timex, so its
mainly a status thing, but can the 1.8 be that much better than a
2.8?

Reminds me of when I was searching for stereo components many moons
ago for $XXXX I could get a very good sounding system but for many
times that amount I could get a highly recommended system that I
honestly couldn't hear the difference in sound quality.

Similar discussion for Rolex vs Timex. Mostly similar reasons
for owning both the Rolex and the A* 135mm f1.8.

Save yourself $2400.00 and go for the f/2.8.
