That pretty much covers everything that I shoot. The one that gets the least use currently is the 85, although, looking back, it's produced many of my favourite photo's.

I'm looking forward to taking the Otus out for its 2nd run tomorrow, after a week of having it parked up. I'm in a similar position, the 85 1.2 is the last Canon autofocus lens I still own. I use it primarily for wide open shooting but it does suffer from significant CA wide open. Have been contemplating replacing it with the new OTUS 85, time will tell. Sony A1, A7R2

If you are a wedding shoot manual focus lenses are not the right tool. i noticed that this week on a wedding. i tried to use the otus where i could. i had only use it at the end of formal shootings where the couple stand still for a long time so that i had the time to set the focus point... but during ceremony the otus isnt the right tool. therefor my 50 1.2 is the best lens...
