I actually think that FA 43 has very strong character, unlike DA*55 which is really balanced lens, and it really takes care of skintones well. FA 43 is more rough.
here is funky bokeh of 43

Little stopped down it can be nice too

and great also for portraits like this..
But DA*55 really stands out as portraits lens
(old one on K-7)

W/O with K-3

and ofcourse that shallow Dof with FF

with FA 43 this would not be as good, because ability to focus closer and wider aperture..
