From what I can see the Schneider lens only offers shift adjustments for perspective correction. The Nikon lens is more flexible since it can also tilt which allows you to change the focus plane.

'cos the Nikon is wider, provides tilt, and is cheaper (the Nikon will retail for around US$1.8k, the schneider is at US2.5k)

And I think that the Nikon glass will be better than the Schneider.

Schneider are but a skeleton of what they used to be, and they are certainly not Zeiss.
