It is an extremely fine lens and gives beautiful images at any aperture. But I suspect the new asph lens is fine as well. It is doubtful you will see any difference to the older lens unless you take photos of lens charts. It sounds to me you would like the newer lens for it's smaller filter size and compactness. I would not worry about buying either one.
