In fact, I may even do that first, and check out 17mm vs 24mm there to help me decide which TS-E I would prefer.
I agree that 24mm is sort of an 'in-between' focal length, but it is a useful one and I like the idea of a razor-sharp-to-the-corners 24mm lens (as opposed to the 17-40mm or 24-105mm lenses at 24mm, or even the 24mm f/1.4L II prime).
