I don't have much experience with a 50mm 2.8 macro, but if you plan on using this for portraits, I think a 50mm f/1.8 would be better. I'm not sure if the price is worth it for the f/1.4. When I bought my 50mm f/1.8 I debated about whether or not I should pick up a 50mm f/1.4 instead. I was told to first learn with the f/1.8, master it, learn its weaknesses, and then go for a f/1.4 if I needed it. I've had it for about a year now and I love it. Great for portraits. I can't think of a real need to get a 50mm f/1.4... but that's my opinion.
