I am just curious about the background separation / rendering between the 90 and 56, because that isn't something I can replicate on my 55-200

Both give what I call "3d effect" : they make the subject stand out of the picture. I have prints on my wall taken with the 56, on which it feels like the person is in front of the photo and is real.

The 90 compresses the background more, which can be better or not, it's all about what you want.

By the way, there's a very gpod alternative to the 90,it.'s the Viltrox 85 f1.8. It's much cheaper and almost as good (I had one).

Yep I had the 50 f2 and sold it for the 56 f1.2.

I have the Viltrox 85 but it doesn't get much use as I prefer to be closer to the subject. It's a good lens though.

I have the X100V and then alternate between 35 f1.4 and 56 f1.2 on the XT4 a lot of the time.
