When it comes to quality lenses, you certainly do. On the other hand, treated with care
by a single owner, the Samyang 85/1.4 should last a long time. LensRentals.com rents to a
lot of people at all skill levels, and "who knows what care" they handle rental
equipment with.
Of course, the SMC-Pentax FA77/1.8 Limited is one of Pentax' finest lenses so
it's a little crazy to compare it with an inexpensive Samyang.

Resurrecting this thread because there was a post on Lens Rentals
about the lenses with the highest frequency of repair and the Rokinon
85mm f1.4 was pretty darn high on that list.

Thought that might be of interest to some. Perhaps it is still true
that you get what you pay for.
As far as usable longevity goes, I'll put up my near complete set of SMC
Pentax -K lenses up against
any Pentax K mount lenses. They are precision made, superb optics,
virtually all metal and glass and have very little to go wrong
with them. That equals long (my)lifetime durability.
