I doubt an AF-S 85mm F1.8G would be much smaller than the 85mm F1.4G. I think F1.8 or F2 primes with AF-S wouldn't be much cheaper, maybe $800-1000, based on the way Nikon is pricing non-DX lenses these days.

I'm still musing over what lenses to go for myself, although I'm starting to think that the 16-35mm F4 will have to wait till next year. What I get will come down to how much I get from selling my remaining DX gear, but I think the 24-120mm F4 is going to come out on top, simply for flexibility.
