Is the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM worth the price over the RF 35mm f/1.8?

Reviewers covering the f/1.4 VCM describe it as a 'hybrid' L-series lens with excellent sharpness, fast autofocus, and minimal focus breathing — clearly a step up for professional work and video. The f/1.8 Macro is the better value pick for hobbyists, while reviewers flag distortion and rattle concerns on the f/1.4 VCM that buyers should be aware of.
