The biggest issue is the 2.8 vs 1.4 - there is no comparison. For anyone who has shot the Canon 35/2 and then the 35L, it\'s pretty easy to understand. In low light situations (something wedding photographers have to deal with on a regular basis), the 1.4 provides speed that 2.8 just can\'t.
Moreover, it\'s also about looks. The look of 1.4 is just different than 2.8.
Both a Camry and a Porsche will take you from point A to point B. Even with using local roads and staying within speed limits, each car is going to give you a far different feel/experience.
Also... sharpness isn\'t everything when it comes to IQ. The 2.8 and 1.4 might have the same sharpness, but they are not in the same league. For those who need and can appreciate the upgrade, they can spend the money. For those who don\'t get it, can save their money.
