Which should be my next lens?

Hi guys. I have an eos-m with the 22/2 prime, the 650D with 18-55 II IS (not thrilled with it, but IS works well for video) and the 50 1.8

Im looking into buying another lens and I will probably have to use it for a while

I'll probably keep the 15-55 for now to use it for architecture work and the 22/2 I use for walkaround - it's much easier to carry the small camera.

The 50 1.8 I'm using mainly for portraits, but I don't really like the bokeh and the AF inconsistency. The sharpness and colors are OK, but nothing like the 22/2

I'm looking into buying another lens and it seems I have the following options :

60 2.8 Macro

85 1.8

100 2

50 1.4

Sigma 30 1.4 ot Sigma 50 1.4

There is the option for a 85 1.4 Samyang, but my wife won't like the manual focus thing and I probably won't like it that much too.

All will be purchased used from a guy I bought the 50 1.8 from, so I will have the chance to test all of them for focusing issues with a tripod and a chart.

Please give me some advice.
