Those DoF numbers are way off. 85/1.2 at 3 feet gives a DoF of 0.02 feet. 60/2.4 at 3 feet gives a DoF of 0.07 feet. So you're using over triple the DoF on the Fuji... quite a different look, and certainly much easier to attain critical focus with.
Anyway, that further confirms that you're carrying needless weight with the 85/1.2, making the comparison a bit silly. You'd be much better off with the 85/1.8. I think this is true for a large number of photographers... there is a strong obsession with fast glass, but given the difficulty of using it, the very limited legitimate artistic use for such shallow DoF, the expense/size/weight of the gear, and the compromises in IQ required for such large apertures, most people would be far better off with slower variants.
