Overall, I love the 16/1.4 when I use it, but the problem is I don't have much time to use it, so I don't use it and end up bringing the 16-55 + 90 instead.

Just like most of us do - the dream team! 

Thanks for letting us know how your usage has changed over a period of time. I had wondered about getting the new 16mm f2.8 when it arrives for discrete street photography. For my taste 16mm to 18mm is ideal as I like to get fairly close. I currently use my 14mm from waist height but while DoF is no problem at the hyperfocal, I sometimes need to crop more than I like (I still prefer my 16MP XP1 for this).
