Well that works for the vanilla case but I need access to the data.

Which is what Shawn said. If you follow the pattern described in the excellent documentation, you'll see that there's no reason to try and reference the form's data, as the form will re-render itself anyway if validation fails. And there's no reason to have separate templates or views for add and edit.
