well, I imagine that IQ is also going to be noticeably better.

I don't, not at this focal length. The Minolta 50mm f/1.4 (sony rebadged it) is one of the excellent lenses in the lineup. To improve on it.... going to be very difficult indeed.

I beg to differ so we shall await the tests with bated breath
