@Richard L Choosing just one would be heartbreaking but I'd say the 75 mm f/2.8 AL is the most "stellar" of my arsenal. The only one I find disappointing is the 90 mm f/2.8 because of its lack of contrast (I do landscapes).
I agree fully with the first part of your statement regarding the 75AL, but not really with the second part concerning the 90/2.8!
There are times when the 75AL can be
too contrasty for some landscape applications, especially when moderating e.g. RVP50 in soft light to gently accentuate pastels; the last thing you need is for a very contrasty lens to patently Disneychrome the whole thing! In that regard, recent imaging has favoured the 90mm over the 75AL, both for a bit less contrast and distance from subject complications whereby I was not able to get close-in due to circumstantial hindrances.
The scene below was first assessed with the 75AL in 2017, but found to be too short; it would have been fine if there was a symmetrical reflection of the subject in the water, but not being so on that (or subsequence occasions!), switch to Plan B! The 90mm stepped in and it was used then and on all four occasions since then, with the most recent being last November.
