I've got the Sigma in Nikon fit and it's very good. Fairly distorted at the very wide end but it's 10mm so you'd expect it. Good value and well built. Also it's got an interesting coating on it which seems to "polarise" slightly so Sigma have obviously optimised it for landscapes.

It's not that surprising as the angle of view increases dramatically as the focal length gets shorter. On a 400D at 11mm the diagonal AoV is 101 degress and at 10mm its 106.3 degrees

Only if you're upgrading to FF. And APS-C isn't dead or dying anytime soon.

A couple of samples with the 10-20

You can see the distortion in the one below.
