Too many variables!

What are you trying to accomplish? What glass do you already have?

Personally, I use my 21/2 a LOT more than I use my 180/2.8. It's a newer 
design, has floating elements for close focusing, and I believe it's "Reese" 
numbers are better. I've always thought the 180 to be a tad soft, but maybe 
it's just my sample.

But the 180 looks cooler, if you're into "neck candy."
