The 90 has better behavior than the 56, the auto focus is much more well behaved: faster and more predictable and more reliable. Also the bokeh is flawless. For indoor usage the 90 is very tight. I have made some headshots, that is about it.

If your subject can sit still, the shutter speed can be relatively long, especially when you have ibis. With energetic children, even 1/200 is a challenge to keep motion blur away.

So bottom line, it will depend on your subject what works best. The 56 is a gem when you got the shot nailed. The 90 is also instant hit, so whichever you choose..

For indoors (at home) I never use longer than 85mm equiv. so it would be and outdoor lens mostly, but that's fine. I think I'll need to go 1/200 minimum regardless of subject speed.
