A brief glance at images reduced to web size says the 55 1,4 overall, if you take into account, weight, size, portability and cost, might be the better option. And it's a lot easier to go for the 55 now that you know how it stacks up against the DFA*50 1.4, and secure in the knowledge there is not better coming for a long time if ever.

Originally posted by biz-engineer I'v had the da*55 , found it really good optically but slow to af, vignette on ff wide open and it is not cheap either...
At Henry's, currently $700 for the 55,
At Henry's, currently $1700 for the 50,
If the 55 is not that cheap, the 50 is doubly not that cheap.
