Verdict
Pick Model B if you prioritize a brighter f/1.4 aperture for low-light shooting and shallower depth of field, while saving 36 EUR. Model A stays the better choice if you prefer the slightly newer optical design and are content with the f/1.8 aperture, as the price premium may not justify the marginal difference for your needs.
