I had the 56 but replaced it with the 90. Both are great lenses with very nice rendering. The 90mm might be even a little bit better optically and definitely better regarding AF.

But the main difference is the look.

56: better for head and shoulder, normal working distance

90: better for close portraits shot in landscape orientation where you crop tight and of course for full body shots that look like if they are shot with a 70-200/2.8 on a full frame camera.

And of course the 90mm doubles as a tele lens and can replace a tele zoom.
