I would suggest the answer to this one is incredibly simple:
If you are missing worthwhile shots because a 1.4 lens is too slow, or
forces you to use film that is too fast/thin/grainy, and you can afford
a Noctilux, then you should buy one.
A Noctilux, like any other lens, is a tool. If you need to dig a hole,
you get a shovel. If you need to dig a big hole, you get a big shovel.
