Which lens would be a better buy for me (I mostly do street photography and landscapes)"

"The reason I would like another is lens is while the 28mm equivalent is my favorite focal length I need more versatility, what I'm wondering is if the 20mm is too close to the 14mm that I won't find it nearly as useful as the 45mm. I would consider a zoom but low light and depth of field are things that matter for me".

There is a huge difference between 20 and 45mm. I think you simply have GAS.

Leave your money safely in the bank for now, earmarked for your hobby. Keep using what you have. Eventually, you will know exactly which missing FL is holding you back, and buy a lens you really use.
