If you've got the 50 1.8G, don't get the 1.4G. The difference is subtle at best and you'd have to look hard for it. Also, the 1.8 is sharper. I own the 1.4G and i'm thinking of replacing it with either the 1.8G or 1.2L and switching to Canon.
the 35mm f/1.4G is only OK at f/1.4, it's awesome at f/1.7-2. I own this lens, and unless you're shooting Film/Full Frame, don't waste your time. The 50mm blurs out backgrounds more effectively and AF's more consistently too.
The 85mm f/1.4G is awesome..when it's in focus. I've rented it on occasion and have always had focus issues with it. I rent the 1.8D if it's available instead usually.
If you want something that will blur those backgrounds more than what the 50 does already, look into the 85mm f/1.8G. It should be pretty good.
If you want to destroy backgrounds regardless of distance to subject, than a Contax 645 + 80mm f/2 will do the trick
