I'm going to wait for the 0.95. From the user reviews I've read, it sounds 
like the focus throw is not quite as long on the 0.95, which is something I 
think I'd appreciate. 
 
Really, though, the bottom line for me is that never in my lifetime would I 
be able to buy an $11,000 lens. The F1 and 0.95 have different looks, but I 
think both are lovely and if my kid needed a kidney I could get closer to 
meeting the co-pay selling an F.95 than an F1.
