Focal length question... 35 and 50 necessary?

I use my 20mm lens in quite a different fashion than my 14mm lens. I also shoot a range of subjects, including street, landscape, portraits, etc. For me, it is necessary to have both a normal and a wide option so I can compose with different perspectives.

That said, with both a 14 and a 20 in my bag, I don't see the need to split the difference and get a 17. I have friends who prefer the 17mm look to 14mm, but that is entirely subjective.
