Running a 35mm equivalent on one body and either a short tele or a much wider angle on another was standard photojournalist protocol for many years. If you can bear carrying two cameras around.
Why don't you feel the 56 is long enough? That's already ~90mm equiv (that or the 50mm is probably the only lens I could justify getting - my longest is the 35mm at the mo).
Edit to add - at street photography distance and f4-f8, I don't think you'll see a massive difference between the 23mm on the X100 series, the f2 or the f1.4. The x100 lens gets super soft wide open at close distance, which is where lens testers love to try all their bokeh shots and so it gets slated even when it's a perfectly good lens. You'll only see the benefit of the 1.4 if you're shooting a lot in low light, or if you get up close and personal a lot. IMHO - I went for the f2 for the size and weather sealing and much lower cost in the end. Oh, and it focuses quicker than the first-gen lenses.
