However, I find it to be lacking "beauty" in its images (it tends to be "dull and boring" like 24-70, not "arty" like 135 or 85 1.2). I'm also not sure if I will be satisfied with its sharpness at f/1.8. I don't like to carry more than 3 lenses with me at once and I doubt that 85 f/1.8 will be able to substitute any of the lenses I mentioned above.

Maybe you are not addressing characteristics of the lens. 85/1.8 has its problems, lack of "artistic" look is not one of them.
