Is there a big difference between the 1.4 and 1.8 50mm in terms of picture quality?
Should I get one or just stick wiht the 1.8?

Unless you're thinking of starting your own lens-test site, stick with what 
you have. Truth is, except for _very_ critical work there isn't enough 
difference between the various 50mm's to fret over. You _might_ be able to 
tell at a casual glance a picture made with an f/1.2 as opposed to yours, 
but I don't know, and even if you could tell the difference the price 
differential is outrageous.
You have an excellent lens there already. Use it happily..
