Yet another poster who doesn't know the difference between lens distortions, barrel, pincushion etc, and projection distortion which is the unavoidable characteristic of projecting a scene whilst maintaining straight lines.
The 11-24 has remarkably little distortion aberrations, the fov necessitates extreme projection distortion but this is not an optical error, just the logical and unavoidable result of a rectilinear projection.

Now you know why the Canon 11-24 is a masterpiece

Considering the price difference, I'd say I'd still be happy with the tamy as it is a really good glass for a good price.
And be thankful to Canon that they give you the choice to get an even better piece of glass - but for more than three times the money.
