Its a 50mm f1.8 and will allow you to play around with depth of field and capture a lot of low light stuff without flash and work as a poor man's portrait lens. To me this lens is more valuable then the long zoom.
Don't disagree with what you said, but for narrow depth of field a long focal length works too, and usually provides a less distracting background as well, even though aperture shrinks at the long end.
