If you ask a chatbot like ChatGPT to compile a summary of the reviews of these lenses, you will find that by pretty much all accounts, both the 80 f1.7 and 55 f1.7 are optically excellent. One reviewer even compared the 80 1.7 favorably to the 110 f2.
So I don't know why they didn't work for you. The chances that you got 1 bad lens are slim, and even slimmer that you got 2 bad lenses.
Not sure how you could possible compare them to Nikon or Canon RF lenses because it's medium format vs. full-frame, and 100 megapixels vs. considerably less than that (45 megapixels?).
Hasselblad is another brand you could consider but the cost is considerably steeper than Fuji.
