portrait lens to replace 100mm macro

For portaits on the 50mm end I always have the 50f1.4 that is giving me total satisfaction, I know its limitations, I almost always use it at f2.8 absolutely no compplaints, also when backround is not very busy (blue sky for example) 17-55 is a wonderful performer, had it a good bokeh, this lens would be an absolute killer.

I need a replacement for the 100mm macro, if there's no better then I have no choice but to stay with it

f2.8 is just enough, that's why I find no reason to get the 85mm f1.2

So if it's 100 mm that you want, but want more bokeh, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the EF 100mm f2. It's a very sharp lens, has excellent bokeh, and of course being f2 will give a bit "more" boken (ie thinner DOF and therefore more subject isolation
