Well, 50mm lens is a very simple lens and its optimal design has been
known for a number of years. It's zoom lenses and extreme FL (in both
directions) where the design get tricky and where the higher price
(usually) means a better quality.

You are correct, of course, and I probable should have said simply that
price should not be a criteria for lens performance -- good or bad (IMHO).
