Neither is better, IMHO. I own both the 2-14 and one of the Beatties.
Both increase apparent brightness about the same amount. The 2-13 is less
expensive, and (again IMHO) better-machined (i.e., more "refined") than the
Beattie I've got. But I like 'em both.
Maybe it's just my eyes, but I've found that the Beattie can be hard to
focus with short tele to normal to wide angle lenses. It comes into its own
with medium to super teles though. I intend to dedicate at least one body
with a Beattie screen for medium-super glass usage.
