That's not how I read the initial post where he states that he's buying the 85mm soon anyway...and he's questioning if he should also upgrade the 50mm.

Depends on your own likingsdon't you think? I personally think I would prefer the 85mm on a crop body, but on a full frame camera the 50mm is a "better" portrait lens for me. But manywill disagree with me on this one, it's a personal thing.
