I rarely used my 50mm f/1.8 wide open, I was often at f/2.5-f/2.8.
A bit late to the discussion, but here goes.

I was in the exact same both (except with the F50 f1.7) and decided that since I was never comfortable using it wide open, and since I WAS comfortable using the 40 wide open, plus since 40mm feels more comfortable for me (less cramped FOV) I went with it and never looked back.
