Frankie,

You will find it is easier to manually focus a 50mm f1.4 lens than a f1.7 or 
f2.0.
The extra light makes a big difference in how clearly you can see to focus.
Otherwise, I think the lens qualities are similar at comparable apertures.

 In reality, I seldom use the aperture larger than f/2.0. So the f/1.4 and
 f/1.7 have no difference for me. Rather, I wish to choose an optically good
 lens. >>
