Sorry - I don’t get the point. When using a big Cam instead of a let’s say RX100 for example or even just an iPhone, I want „special“ results. The 35/2 doesn’t give this to me! The 1.4 is a class of its own - so why not give this lens the preference?!
The shot you posted is nice - no question! But I ask myself: Do you need a big rig for it? Modern smartphone or handsome 1“ cam would deliver the same I guess!

Hope this was not too offence?! Just wanted to point out, why I would go for the 35/1.4

I get the 35/1.4 love, but I also appreciate a good morning chuckle.

Fun fact - did you know most of the f/1.x Fuji's apertures are so wide as to let water in? That's why it's advisable only the f/2 primes  be used in inclement weather (16/1.4 being the exception).
