It all depends on how important f/1.2 is to you.

If you please, can you explain how that is technologically.

Depends upon who's $1000.00 you are spending. People must think it is or that price would not be offered.

It wasn't for me, I purchased the ƒ/1.4.
(Not $1,000 important...)

Very nicely, but I don't have either the other two to compare. Not really interested in doing so either.
I'm pleased with it. I also like the build more than the ƒ/1.8.

If you shoot at f1.2 all the time then you have no choice. Faster lenses cost more to build.
The extra lens speed has almost no effect on the image so that aspect is not worth $25. But in really crappy light, even if your need for DoF has you setting f2.8 or 3.5, sometimes a bit of extra lens speed enables the AF to lock on when a slower lens might leave the AF struggling.
OTOH, some lesser than high end AF systems are confused by the lack of DoF with f1.2 lenses and really work better with slow lenses.
For over 90% of users 100% of the time, anything faster than f/2.0 is meaningless. The other 10% really do need f/1.4 and a verrrrry few from among those users will sometimes benefit from f/1.2. IOW, even the few who "need" it dont really NEED it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The existence of f/1.2 lenses is mainly a holdover from classic MF-only (pre-AF) cameras where the slightly brighter view and the reduced DoF enabled humans to focus a bit more accurately. That was true even thiugh they had set f/1.4 or f/2.0 for the actual exposure.

Some will pay the $1,000 simply because they KNOW it's better.
Might not be able to discern ant differences in all instances, but they know it's better!
