Since you've got both of these focal lengths covered
in your zoom, think about where you take most of your
shots?  Are you generally shooting at the long end of
the zoom's range?  If so, you might even consider the
100/f2.  Are you generally somewhere in the middle? 
The 50mm is a great lens, and of course you can always
crop some if need be.

You might also consider whether you could afford both
a 50 and 85 if you get the 50mm 1.8 instead of the
1.4.  Optically, it's not far behind the 1.4 at all.
