I always kind of wondered if f/1.2 was more of a talking point than a useful or practical aperture. It does let f/1.4 be one stop down though.

Actually, it's only a 1/3 stop difference, one stop would be f/1.0. It's effectively just f/1.4 that looks a little worse. No real difference in bokeh and you get slightly less contrast and slightly more vignetting and CA.
