The first question I would ask though is why have you decided to shoot RAW? It will create a new set of problems for you, so I think the test would be to ask would it improve your photography in some way?
If so, go for it, if not then think carefully why you're doing it.

The Pentax SMC coating is very efficient at avoiding flare, and the new HD coating even more so.

Otherwise, if it ain't broke don't fix it has been my approach. However, I'm not saying that is right or wrong, it's just what I do.

Examples would be Photoshop in Photo Editing software, The Dentomat when dentists mixed silver amalgam, Apple when it comes to tablets (contentious?) and so on.
It's true in photo equipment also, but only in the sense that you know if you need a Hasselblad and why you need it. It's not better per se, but might be better for a specific application.

It's hard to get a bargain if we turn a spotlight on an auction, which I guess is the objection.

The 85mm lenses are amongst the best.
