It depends on what you like to shoot. The 50mm f.14 is a great lens. (I have one.) Very sharp and works well in low light, plus it gives awesome bokeh. But it is limited. If you want a good walk-around lens, you might be better off with a mid-range zoom. The 17-40mm F4L is a sweet lens, but it will cost twice what the 50mm f1.4 will cost you. Try renting one for a few days or a week. It's not that expensive and it'll give you an idea of how it fits your style. I've rented a few lenses that I thought about buying and then decided not to because of my experience while renting them.

Try borrowlenses.com or lensrentals.com. Both have nearly identical prices and service. I've used them both with no issues.
