Photographs. Anytime I'm deciding between two roughly equivalent lenses, I punch their names into Flickr, usually along with the keyword "portrait," since a human face shows how the lens draws the image really well, and most are shot relatively open so I can judge the bokeh.
Seeing a dozen or more photographs taken with a lens will tell one more about it than any chart. Lens choices are subjective; "corpulent" might be a "better" word than "fat," but a writer might choose the word "fat" because it works better with his story. Same with lenses and photography. At the extreme end, there's that photojournalist (I forget who) who sometimes opts for a Speed Graphic and other times opts for a Holga.
