Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM vs Nikon 58mm 1.4? Which opne to get?

I am thinking about buying a new 50mm lens for my wedding photography lens collection.

Which one do you think it is better? The sigma or the Nikon? Sigma is cheaper and has amazing reviews....!!! It is hard to pay more for the Nikon....

The Sigma 50 (and soon 85) seem to be getting some great reviews. I'd give them a shot.

There's the Nikon 58mm f/1.4, the new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens, an older Sigma 50mm f1.4, and the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AF-S. From what I've read the Sigma ART is very close in image quality to the $4000 55mm Zeiss OTUS (here's a review: http://www.ishootshows.com/2014/09/02/sigma-50mm-f1-4-art-lens-review-best-50mm/). The Nikon 58 seems to be the next best (review: http://neilvn.com/tangents/review-nikon-58mm-f1-4g-lens/).
