Just got a Pentax 28mm f2.8 pentax f af prime. Nice tiny lens, seems very sharp on my Ist Ds

I've had my sights set on an SMC Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 for awhile, and now I see it is again available. But recently I've been having a hard time deciding between it and a SMC Pentax-FA 28mm f/2.8.

I already have a 50mm f/1.4, and a DA16-45. But I like the nice compact size of the 35 and 28. My reservation about the 35 is that it's perhaps not different enough from my 50. My reservation about the 28 is that it's not as fast as I would like a "standard" lens to be (standard when used on a *ist-DS).

So there's the dilema: Go a little wider at the cost of one f/stop? Or go for that one f/stop faster, by getting a lens that is maybe not different enough from what I've already got (the 50mm f/1.4).
