Thank you all for your input. I think I will go for the 1.4 ASPH from what I have seen in just the two photos above it separates the subject from the background in a most attractive way. By the way I do have other lenses for my M7 including 21mm f2.8 ASPH, 28mm f2.0 ASPH and a 90mm f2.0 APO. I really wanted to know if the 50mm 1.4 ASPH was superior to the 50mm f2.0 I think I have the result I was hoping for. Again thank you all for your input.

Excellent, in spite of an earlier "I-have-a-chip-on-my-shoulder-that's-inversely-proportionate-to-the-length-of-my-..." post that nearly sent me reeling to the vomitorium!!!!!

 

Superb, congrats!!!

I've used almost every variant of the 50mm since I began with that 3.5 collapsible on a IIIc in 1945. Until recently, a 50mm has been my primary lens, and IMHO, the new 50 ASPH is superior to every one I've owned and used. Projected chromes are, well, both revealing and almost plastic. I still use it when I can, but macular degeneration has forced me to use the 24mm more and more, as the DOF permits zone focusing, and I can be slightly off in deliberate focusing without really screwing up. But, you'll have to pry both lenses from my dead fingers. Go for that 50 ASPH!
