Canon 50mm f1.4 lens vs Canon 50mm f1.8 lens

So I have been really wanting to get Canon 50mm F/1.4 lens which runs close to $300. There is a cheaper Canon 50mm F/1.8 lens that runs for less than $100. I asked my close friend who happens to know more about photography than me as to which one I should choose. He told me since Canon 50mm lens are such special purpose lens, I would basically be wasting money if I go with Canon 50mm F/1.8. I held Canon 50mm F/1.8 lens at Adorama. It felt like it was made of very cheap plastic. I am very impressed by Canon 50mm F/1.8 lens anyway so I think I am going to go with his suggestion.

Have you had a chance to use F/1.4 or F/1.8 lens? If so, I would love to hear about your experience.
