If I were you, I would go for 50mm 1.8. I have it too and I think it is great. If you intend to be a creative enthusiast and not expensive glass collector (no offence to anyone) I think at this point much wider aperture of 50mm (i.e. shallow DOF) will give you an extra creative dimension to the lenses you already have such as Sigma 28-70 2.8-4. Even if money is not an issue then still buy the 50mm first. Once you explore what sort of photography you are primarily going to do, buy a good lens for your specific needs or style. If you buy just one expensive lens now you will feel like you have to use it all the time due to its superior quality and that may even stop you from developing as a photographer.
Just a point to consider, you still have to make your own decision. Nobody is going to put you out of this misery by force ;)

good point
