I couldn't convince myself to invest in the 85L ... I rather use the 85/1.8 + the 135L (but that is on fullframe).
But it is really tempting...I rented a 85L twice and always found it hard to return it to the shop.
But you ask for better bokeh ...[color="#0000ff"] the 85L is not likely to outperform a 100macro (regardles which) in
terms of image sharpness over the frame[/color], but it will produce a nicer bokeh and blur in the conditions
you asked for (distances over 2 meters)

Not even at the same apertures? I don't agree with you here. I wasn''t convinced with the 100 macro, not when having 50L and 135L next to it and 85L. Granted, an 85L is not great for macro, moslty because it is so ciumbersome, but I do think it is sharper than the macro at the same apertures, certainly for non-macro type of shooting.
Kind regards, Wim
