GF 45mm for Street Photography - Better or Worse Than GF 50mm?

I am considering adding the GF 45mm f2.8 to my GFX kit. I already have that focal length covered by the GF 35-70mm and GF 45-100mm, but street photography with prime lenses is a major part of what I do, so the 45mm could be useful. I try to reserve zoom lenses for landscapes or cityscapes.

I have been using a GF 50mm as my street photography solution, and I'm pleased with the results I get from that lens, but sometimes I would like something a bit wider.

Other than the focal length differences between the GF 45mm and GF 50mm, what does the 45mm offer that would make it a compelling supplement (or perhaps a replacement) vs. the 50mm? I'm not sure it this detail matters, but my only GFX body is a GFX 50S II.
