If you just want to get it out of the way with little hassle, what about Cash Converters or similar?

I think with the improvements in higher ISO/lower noise sensors, the need for a faster lens for it's light-gathering capabilities has been lessened. i recently shot some night scenes with the K1 at ISO 3200 enabling me to use f5.6 and keep a hand-holding shutter speed. i would not have been able to do that with my old K10, and opening up a lens to 2.8 or faster in the circumstance I was shooting in would have been hopeless, it would not give me the DOF I needed.
Having said that, there are many times we want the minimum DOF for artistic reasons and fo that i can always see the faster lenses being desired. I do take Nigel's point that in the 15-30 FL range the difference could well be marginal.
I don't do astro-photography (yet !) but understand that the fastest lenses are an advantage.
