Beautiful bw shot. I have both of these lenses and also think you made a good choice. I kind of feel like for me 50s are really best used as portrait lenses, and I would rather have one that puts its stamp on the images and shows charcter than one that resolves like a macro lens or displays neutral characteristics (not that the Hexanon 50 1.4 is not an amazing lens too).
Like many folks here probably, I have several fast fifties including multiple 1.4s and a Rokkor 1.2, but I find myself reaching for my Minolta 58 1.4 most often, which has a similar feel to the Konica.

I had both and prefered the 57 due more interesting character. I sold both later anyway
I would simply make an wide open test comparision with some bokeh and some CA's between the two and then decide which you like more.

I'm glad you decided to keep both, as konica fan and can't forgive you other wise 
I would love to buy the all black version of the 57/1.4
