Remember the focal length of the 50/2 widens as you move in; I think
it's 40mm up close.
For the extra $200 there are only a couple of things you get over a
nice MC 50/3.5: A much brighter finder image, and (to my eye) some
very, very nice bokeh effects at wide apertures.
As a "walk-around" lens, it's just plain bulky, especially after
getting used to how cozy the 50/3.5 feels.

The 3.5 also has the close focus aberration correction lens, the
first to ever be offered in a macro lens.
