Actually, in another thread, I advised the OP to get version I. Not that II is not better in any respect except for size and weight.

The difference matters to me mostly in the bokeh area. I have a number of shots with the I with a double line busy bokeh. This is a small percentage of all the images wide open with that lens but it bothered me. Today, I could not really challenge either lens to reproduce the busy bokeh. In some other shots around the house, I can see the difference better.

Here are the crops I posted there, It is easy to say which is which and I was testing for performance in backlit situations.

EDIT: Here is a bokeh comparison taken near the left border of the photo above, 100% crop.
