Can't speak for the 14-54 but I did shoot the 50/2 against the 14-45  
very briefly on an E-500 and the difference was immediately  
noticeable - it was exponentially superior. The kicker was the colour  
chalk writing on a blackboard outside a cafe - the zoom rendered the  
chalk as a colour smear at 100% 'actual pixel' view while the 50/2  
actually showed the grainy look of the chalk on the board. I'd get it  
for portrait capability alone.
