Sigma beats Nikon to the punch and ships their ultrasonic focus equipped 50/f1.4 about the same time Nikon is announcing theirs.  Is there a quick verdict?

Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t think so.  We&#8217;ll need to await Nikon&#8217;s new 50/f1.4 AF-S to judge where you should put your money.
Buy from Adorama:

		<description><![CDATA[In the never-ending war between Nikon and Adobe, Nikon upped the ante with the D300 and D3 by introducing their &#8220;Picture Controls,&#8221; rendering Adobe&#8217;s Camera Raw plug-in less than perfect for NEF conversion.  Adobe&#8217;s answer: Camera Profiles.

In a word, yes.
