Yep. I've used both, and decided the 1.4 was worth its price for me.

And focusing (especially manually - even if it isn't as good
as in macros let alone any real manual focus lenses, it's an order
of magnitude better than the 1.8; AF speed is no different but I
like the quietness of (even micro-)USM), and durability.

I must admit though that I've used much less it after getting
a 10D - with the 1.6x crop the usefulness of 50mm is much
more limited.
