Hi,
Yes, the A* 1.8/135 is ideal to have, but terrible to buy. I've seen a person who was lucky enough to touch one... ;-) There are some much cheaper, a bit darker ones, that are very good performers as well, and are easier to find too. These are the old Pentax SMC 2.5/135 (not the Takumar!) and the Vivitar Series1 2.3/135. You may find some other fast 135s, like the Vivitar 1.8 and even 1.5, or some other 1.8-s, but these are said to be poor performers. The good news is that the latter are dirty cheap also.
