Just get the FA50/1.5 and be done with it.

I have had all the M/A 50mm as well as the FA50/1.4
They are all good and when stopped down, there is really nothing between them other than sample variation.
Stopped down a bit for 'bokeh' type shooting, the f1.4 versions do better as the f1.7/2 all have too obvious/distracting hex looking OOF highlights.

If you want as cheap as possible (and lighter), then consider the DA50/1.8

That said, if I know that I am only doing landscapes, I often bring the 50/2 as its only used at f8 and is much smaller and lighter.
