The Zuiko Digital 7-14mm is an optical masterpeice, and before Nikon's  
14-24mm came to steal the wide-angle shot, it could be considered the  
best wide-angle zoom in existence. Of course, as you know Phillipe,  
the 7-14mm is a huge lens, heavy, and one cannot mount optical filters  
in front of that fisheye-like bulbous front element. The Panasonic  
7-14mm, on the other hand, is tiny, made mostly from plastic, and is  
built in line with most current micro-four-thirds zooms (and the  
M.Zuiko 17mm) in that it's optically a piece a piece of junk (in all  
aspects except resolution, which seems decent), relying on software  
corrections for the rest.

I guess the choice is yours :-)

Big, expensive, and good, or small and bad, but with software  
corrections (to the non-discerning eye) a pretty nice lens nevertheless.
