Softer lenses come into their own when you print the photo and look at them from a distance...that is when they "glow" if you will...hard to get that from a monitor screen unless the picture takes up the full screen and you stand about 10 feet away from it.
I hear you though...sharpness is in nowadays...I'm old fashioned and like the softer portraits...sharp is to clinical and sterile (for portraits/people pictures) for me.
