Have 16-55 2.8, do I "need" 35 f2?

I recently cleaned house of lenses I wasn't using. Ended up with just 3 in signature, but contemplating whether I need a small easy to wrangle option. Tried the 35 1.4 and liked it but it was louder and slower focusing than I prefer.

Other than smaller, and .8 faster... are there any benefits I'm missing on the 35 f2?

In most cases I'd be carrying the 16-55 when using the 35 f2 or vice versa.
