Certainly the "look" of the Nocti and the look of the 35 ASPH Lux are very
different......
Technically, the difference in an F1.4 and an F1.2 lens is only a 1/3 stop.
The Nocti is 1 stop faster, and that is a significant difference in low
light ( read that as 1 full higher shutter speed).

But maybe, just selling off your present CV 35 lens and buying another CV 35
would make you as happy and secure in your equipment as a Pro must have.

I just do not believe in owning equipment that one is hesitant on the
reliability of.... especially if you are a traveling type,,,,,,

I know.  I have the 35/1.4 and it was my most used lens before I got 
the CV 35/1.2, but I really, really missed my Noctilux.  That was my 
most used lens with film.  I was hoping to find something 
close.  That .2 doesn't seem like it would make a difference, but it 
does!  I would like a 1.0 even more!! I think I'll go back to some 
more testing :-(
