Out of this I only have the 28mm macro lens, so I voted for that.

Actually, that focal length is great for general purposes, and for portraits too. It has IS + f/3.5. That's a good thing. Sadly f/3.5 isn't giving the best subject separation.

I want the 32mm f/1.4 lens.

I already have the 11-22mm lens though so I'm not sure what I would do with the 22mm lens...

At 22mm i'm shooting more often with a large dof in stead of a thin dof, so in most cases the IS is more beneficial for me than the larger aperture of the prime.

Yes it has a wider aperture than the 11-22mm lens and it's really small, but would I actually use it instead of the 11-22mm zoomlens?

I rather have the even wider aperture of the 32mm

Having the 32mm and the 11-22mm the 22mm is not completely redundant, but you will miss it the least of the three.

Personally i find the biggest downside of the 11-22mm it only goes to 22mm, and you need to change lenses to get to 32/35mm.  Not having this in one lens means a lot of lens changes for me.

(Also considering the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 but I think that the wider focal length of the 32mm lens would be my first option, a bit more versatile I guess, if for instance I want to shoot a starry sky at night).
