And all of that is true and correct. Your images (those ones anyway) don't show the potential to differentiate the f2 from f1.4. As many have said, and is the case, the 1.4 stop provides that potential with the right subject and conditions. Then the advantage of the 1.4 can be accessed, where the f2 can't. An indoor image of a speaker on a stool with no 'interesting lighting' doesn't illustrate any potential and therefore the images are difficult to differentiate.

As I sold the f2 I can't now directly illustrate this point with identical images.

You could select 100 other shots that don't show potential. Potential isn't present in all circumstances.

So what you're saying is that I'm just going to have to take your word on it that the lens has special magic abilities?

No thanks. I gave up on dpreview forum mass hysteria years ago.
