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.

I think the above tells me that you will not use this lens if you get one. If your mindset is already that it's not good enough compared to any of the lenses that you already have then you will never have a reason to grab for it.

For me, I'd get it because I really like the 85mm FL. I often just go out with a 35mm and 85mm primes.
