The D FA 24-70mm f/2.8 is fairly sharp @50mm. So I would see a 50/1.4 as superfluous if you don't find yourself shooting wide open. you may want to look at the aperture used with this lens, if you are always shooting at 2.8, you may benefit from a faster lens.

f1.4 does help with AF in low light if that is important.
