Larry, I considered selling mine also, but the lure or the prospect of a full frame and the pain of selling has lead me to keep it for now. I think that the FA31 may be marginally better and lighter of course but the Sigma is significantly more versatile and very very capable. I might do come comparison shots when I have the time.
