Sorry, I meant to add this in my previous reply, and for some reason, the EXIF data on the Leica is not registered correctly here. Hmmmm.....what IS going on?

Great comparison, confirms my findings. Leica destroys the Nikon when it comes to bokeh.

Based on these samples the differences in bokeh are marginal. But if you spent about 10 times as much on the Leica as you would have done on the Nikon, you could be pretty upset if it wasn't at least marginally better.
