My Go-To Lens for Travel: Dreamy Vs Reality? Nikon 85mm f1.8 S vs Sirui 85mm f1.4 Aurora

It took 100,000 frames on my last Japan trip, before I realised the Nikon 85mm f1.8 S had become my go-to travel lens for the Nikon Zf. 85mm is common, f1.8 nothing special, but to date none of the other options beat Nikon at anything other than price.  Sirui’s 85mm 1.4 is the first third party 85 offering something more than just a bargain, but is dreamy rendering the best choice for travel photography?  I want to capture the surroundings in a way that best matches my memories, because once the trip ends I’m forced to come back down to reality.
