Default Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 vs 50mm f/1.4????

Hello. I'm having trouble deciding what lense to buy and after reading numerous reviews and forum comments, I'm still none the wiser! I am currently using a Nikon D80 body with the Nikkor 18-135mm kit lens. I am after a prime or near prime lense for the low light capabilities and of course nice bokeh! It is mainly for travel, street, and landscape shots, seldom portraits. I can't decide which focal length is better. I realise 35mm is more versatile and can always crop if close-ups are required, but will the 50mm have less distortion to make it a more attractive option? Certainly the 35mm has a distinct price advantage, which I am not concerned about, but maybe its a little too cheap and nasty? Any help and advice greatly appreciated. Cheers.
