No, I don't think it's sharper, but it's probably as sharp. But
sharpness is just one parameter by which to judge a lens. The lens's
other qualities (build, bokeh, handling) might make it worth the price
for you. Be warned also that the 43 has a little barrel distortion.

You can think of spot metering much like manually controlling the camera.
It measures light in a very small spot in the center of the viewfinder.
It doesn't take in the entire scene. It requires you, as the photographer,
to make decisions based upon the scene brightness and choose your exposure.
