Would you bother with the 12mm F2, 17mm f1.8 or 45mm f1.8 if you had the 12-40 f2.8 Pro?

I already have the Panasonic 25mm 1.4. My next lens will be the 12-40mm to cover the wider end of things. I'm not particularly interested in any of the wide angle primes (12mm, 15mm, 17mm). My favorite out of those 3 would be the 15mm, but I'm not too fond of that focal length. So what I'll do instead is to get one or two primes to cover the longer side of things.

I'm thinking the Olympus 45mm and Sigma 60mm would fit the bill. I love their rendering from the pictures I've seen. Plus, they're very inexpensive and light to boot.

In total, one zoom, three primes. I'll mix and match them depending on the intended use.
