Nikon Lenses: Any significant difference with those 'special labels' like N, ED?

So, I've come across the very famous Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G and the 35mm f/1.4G. The 1.4 is obviously 6x the price of the 1.8. The 1.4 has "N" and the 1.8G doesn't. Does this make any difference?

What about with ED?

Although some people will say that f/1.4 is just half, a third or a fourth difference from f/1.8, that difference is a world away. The f/1.4 will significantly take in more light that's why it's that expensive. Compare further to f/1.2 to blow your mind away.

The letters are features (or lack of it) and are explained further in this link.
