Can't decide between a 50mm and a 85mm

Ok, so the thing is, I got my 200D with the Sigma 17-50 f2.8, which is great and I took some great portraits with it, and I'm looking to get a lens which will be better for portraits, mainly to get sharper images.

My dilemma is, should I get a 1.4/1.8 50mm if I already has this range covered with my current lens ? Or should I expand my current range with an 85mm. This is truly for me to decide and I could use some advice.

The Sigma Art looks really appealing to me, despite the high price tag. But my current options are these:

Sigma Art 50/85mm f1.4

Canon 50/85mm f1.4

Tamron 85mm f1.8

Thanks !
