I can't see a benefit

If you already have a 24 -105, I don't see any benefit to a 35mm lens or a big, slightly faster, f 1.2 50mm lens.

You cant see a benefit from having f4 to f1.4 or f1.2??  Three plus stops of extra light and dof control is a pretty big deal.  I can’t imagine how you can’t see that benefit...
