Normally you pay quite a premium going from f1.8 to 1.4. It’s not cheap, but with the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 you are getting a great lens for the price, a price an RF lens probably won’t match.

No, not necessarily. Any f/1.8 primes that come for the RF are likely to also be around the same range. EF versions of the 35, 50 and 85 (f/2/1.4/1.8 respectively) aren't that far off.

The RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM is an anomoly as the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM was more, MSRP. Canon's clearly used it teh RF 35mm as "ground bait" for the R system.

Now you can't match the total cost. An M50 + 32mm is a bargin. You can't get a $500 EOS R. You can get a $1300-1600 one soon though. Dilutes the savings. You do get what you pay for though.
