Very impressive, therwol. I have to admit that all of my experience was with film cameras and MTF charts. DxOMark is new to me as of this year. But on the practical side, other than the "Top 1%" in the country, how many of us would choose to buy a $950 Prime 50mm over the "legendary Nikkor" costing roughly one third the price? That is something I would never be able to justify in today's economy.
I've got the $329 lens, and I have no complaints. It's not worth it to me. I guess I already said that. I've already spent much more than $950 on one zoom and close to that on another, and while I probably could afford another "expensive" lens, I'm okay with what I have. I can think of other ways to spend the money, like on traveling to take pictures.
