i'm torn on what to get for another lens, both my kit lens and tele-lens crap out at f-stops of around 5.6

Prime's are extremely sharp, That is mainly why people love them. Add to that, as you said... You can have a lower aperture, which allows you to take pictures in lower light.

Primes are also sealed, so you don't have to worry about dust getting in them.
