I would gladly trade 1/3 stop faster F/1.4 → F/1.8 for more useful Stabilization and 0.5x Magnification. While you don't need IS in 32mm ~ 35mm focal length, it does help when you shooting continuous video/vlog. The extra weight is also rather minimal.

...

F/1.4 → F/1.8 : not 1/3 stop, but 2/3 stop faster.

For instance, the price difference between the EF 50mm F/1.4 and the EF 50mm F/1.8 might give you an idea how much people are ready to pay for 2/3 stop faster.

By the way, there are already several EF-M IS lenses.
