If I were considering to buy an ef 50/1.8, I would try to find a used 50/1.8 mkI with metal mount. Glass would be the same but different build quality between mkI and II. I don't see much different in picture quality from my 28-105 and the 50MkI ( but so much different with my 70-200L). Though I have the 1.8 for a low light situation (last time I used it was about 2 years ago...but still in my bag every minute.)
Don't be so worried about the picture quality of this particular fixed focal lens and your zoom. Why don't you save more money and get other lens with different focal range?
