Why both the 40 and 50? Planning on keeping them both or just wanna try em both?

Had the same question. Interested to see what u do?

I'll let you guys know in a few weeks. Fwiu the 40 is a much better lens but I'll see.

Don't know about that. The 50mm optical design makes it an inherently better lens. It's also a full stop faster, f stop being a huge selling point among primes of that focal range.

You get much more of a room from a 40, plus in daylight that won't really be recognizable.

10mm is not that much a difference, especially from 40 to 50. 18 to 8mm would make much more of a difference.
50mm is also the focal length that most closely mimics the that of the human eye, giving photos a more natural perspective.
When you are shooting in low-light, you'll be wishing you had that extra stop.
