a lot of people say that the 35/85 combo (on FF) is a great if not ideal lens combo and that the 50mm (on FF) acts like a compromise between those two (not as wide and not as tight). still, there are people who have the 35/50/85 trio in their kit with that said, the 56/1.4 seems like a no-brainer to go with your 22 so you pretty much get the 35/85 setup on your M200 (except the 56/1.4 is equivalent to an 89.6mm). if you feel/think that you still need an in-between your 22/56 combo, then spring for the 32mm

I dont like lens decisions based on math

Obv trying a bunch of lenses might not be practical/possible for everyone, but I got to use pretty much every prime FL from 14mm to 135mm. My experience taught my my preferences are for primes in the 35-45mm range. I learned I really hate changing lenses, and with FF that 35-45mm range is the only place I need speed (any wider and I'm generally not shooting in low light; any longer and FF zooms have enough subject isolation for me)

So I would discount any "one size fits all" equations.... for me a 35/50 is a better pairing than 35/85 because I really have no use for 85. Could be 50/85 for someone else. I know lenses are expensive but the only way to really know what works is to use it.
