The 200 f/2 is a gorgeous lens and its definitely one of my favourites. Its very sharp wide open and by about f/2.8-f/4 its critically sharp right into the corners of a 21mp FF body. It has very little CA and the bokeh is wonderful, kinda has that 85L quality to it but without all the CA. The focus is blindingly fast too.
However, is it worth the price tag? The 70-200 f/2.8 IS is softer in the corners and has more CA but has IS. The 200 f/2.8 is a gem but doesn't have IS. There are alternatives but they require compromises. Sadly, if you want it all, you really need to pony up the $$$. I don't shoot for money so there's no business justification for me.
