Sounds like you're decided on what to get, but I'll just pipe in quickly with my own thoughts.
Although price doesn't seem to be an object for you, sometimes we end up doing more with less. This is the same kind of viewpoint that you've applied to moving from zooms to primes — when we have more options, we often get lazy.
I'm not suggesting that you shoot with only a single lens, however, using a kit that pushes the focal lengths more to the extremes will force you to shoot more creatively within the those restrictions.
For example, 31mm and 43mm are quite similar, especially when you consider that you already have a 50 f/1.4 in your bag. Likewise, might not a super-wide 14mm or 15mm be more interesting than a 21mm?
Just my thoughts from a more conceptual point of view!

ah, so i guess maybe this is part of the camera raw updates that we see...

gotcha, thanks for the information. i'll survive for now i think, but good to know that it may sort itself out over time.
thanks!

Thanks.
I don't have PhotoME as I'm on a Mac, but I do see that the proper focal length of 55mm was recorded. You know, being a geeky it's easy to get worked up over things like the proper name isn't being recorded – it's an infuriating albeit mostly pointless thing to pay attention to.
Of course, I'm curious if anyone else reports the same thing with Aperture 3 or Bridge CS4 on a Mac. You know, just for curiosities sake!

I'm having a slight (but not critical) problem.
My K-7 is not recording my DA* 55mm f/1.4 in the EXIF data (it does work correctly with my DA Limited 40mm f/2.8) and I'm wondering if it is as a result also not applying correct adjustments for CA, as I notice some heavy CA all over the place (not unexpected, but just curious).
In Aperture 3 it records the lens as nothing or Unknown Lens.
Thanks!

@ damn brit / thanks for the comments. i usually prefer to present what i show, as i feel that helps give some context and therefore generates better feedback. i'll leave out the self-doubting criticism though, ^.^
@ mattc / i was standing on top of a rock when he jumped down into the snow (i was nice enough to let him be the leader this time, haha) and only had this vantage point. i did, however, get a couple of shots of him looking back at me. i'll uploaded them to this post.

my friend and i went out to shoot some photos on this archipelago just outside of gothenburg, sweden. it was quite cold, and when we arrived there was a tad bit more snow than we expected. this photo is the result.
for me, controlling exposure and tone of snow has been quite a challenge. this photo has been pulled back about half of a stop and the snow itself warmed up a bit. i'm also unsure of the crop, this is what i got in camera, but feel it could be pulled in a bit to eliminate some of the space in the top of the frame. my instinct is to preserve the sense of open space we were in, but i'm not sure if i've gone about it in the best way.
