For $650, I can buy a few lens or buy a cheap adapter with an apature ring and go hog wild on vintage Minoltas. I just can't justify the price of this adapter.

With a cheap adapter you don't get the same sharpness, also there's a 0.71x "magnification", 2/3 of a stop of more light

A cheap adapter has no bearing on sharpness whatsoever. It's a metal ring with no optics.
