You made no mention of your usage of this lens. Hope the f/1.4 works for you. Canon actually made an f/1.0. One was offered used about 7 years ago for about $3,000.00. Sold immediately. 50mm was the lens included by the manufacturers when one bought a camera back 50 yrs. ago. Still considered by many to be a very useful focal length. The original "Nifty-50" was a really cheap 50mm lens that everyone had for general shooting.
Silly and foolish failures naturally rank as verrrrry collectible with high prices.
Speaking of foolishness, if I ever really wanted to shoot at f1.0 all I gotta do is pop an f/1.4 lens onto my speed booster. Thaz just a technical fact, not something Im ever moved to do cuz Id much rather blow my $3000 on some other equally stoopid foolish idea :-)

We guessed....
We didn't think you were referring to boots.

How much effort have you really performed in researching this question for yourself? I believe every single EF-mount 50mm prime from Canon is now discontinued. So, you might consider why you'd consider any expired (out of production) DSLR lens at any price.
Moreover, in Jan 2020, I provide multiple visual comparison results of a $140 35 year old 50mm vs the (then current) f/1.2L lens:

A fair amount. I find that while I can read information, especially technical, the experience of others, especially accomplished others, is every bit as valuable. Translating technical reports is one thing, the experience of users is, in many cases, more valuable.
If you find my inquiries too taxing, just ignore them.

Are you poking fun at yourself ??!?!?!?Then why did Nikon make a f0.95 lens if such lenses are just holdovers?

Ouch!
True though.
I did not want to spend an extra thousand on the larger aperture.
Not for me.....
As for any quality difference, I doubt people could tell which print from each was from which one, other than maybe the bokeh if it is there.

Not much difference with 1.2 to 1.4 . just happy with a 1.7 or 2.0 . At 1.2 you stretch the limit in optic design , why go there , is it just a status symbol to have a 1.2 ??? .

Is the Canon 50mm 1.2 lens $1000 better than the 1.4
Only if you are actually shooting @ f1.2 .....the difference between 1.4 and 1.2 is 1/2 stop 8-(
