Before you buy the 25, check out the 17 and see which prime suits you better. I find the 35mm focal length more natural than the 50mm focal length. To each his own.

Agree. But they are quite different. The 17mm is better for indoor group shots, the 25mm better for indoor single person shots. (Or group shoots as well of course if you can step back from the subjects a bit).

Nice too have both ^^

But since Paul already has a 14mm, I don't know if a 17mm would be a good choice.

They are a bit close... kind of.
