I can give you my opinion as a former owner of both these lenses. The 135L bokeh is excellent at any aperture and any shooting distance (according to memory), better that the 85/1.2 at full body shots.

If there was one thing that jumped at me about the 70-200/II as being bad, well, it was the bokeh. Transition areas are quite disturbing in my opinion. It was one of the reasons I decided to sell it. But, of course, this is just one man's subjective opinion.

Thanks for sharing your point of view. Since bokeh and the look is my main concern I'll probably go for the prime. Better for my budget too. I already own the 70-200 f4 IS.
