[OM] WTB 21/3.5 or /2

Looking for a 21mm lens to put in my street bag.  I have been using the
18/3.5, but want to keep that at home to protect from damage.

Is the f2 version that much better than the 3.5?  brightness in the
screen is not a problem as I have a 2 series screen, and am used to
looking through the 18/3.5.  Also, if there is a beater 21/3.5 out
there, I might also be interested as appearance is the least of my
concerns, but it must perform well.

Any advice and discussion is welcome.  Also, the street bag is: OM-4Ti,
35 shift, 85/2, and if I am feeling strong I throw in the 16/3.5 and
200/4.

I am also going to do some tests on the performance of the 200/4
compared to the 85/2 + 2x-A.  looking through the lens there isn't much
difference, and w/ the 85+2x-A combo, the min focus is a lot closer!

Thanks in advance for all the seasoned advice!
