The 35LII has a noticeably better bokeh in certain situations but my test today was not enough to demonstrate this.

I generally see the difference in CA and PF which can be pretty bad with the 35L. Not in the bokeh.

For the price difference it remains a doubtful upgrade if you have the 35L already which in itself is a great lens.

I am currently still using the original 35L with my 16-35L f/4.

For the price difference its also worth noting that you get a new lens, a guarantee period and a better resale down the road. However, for now I'll probably wait until there's a price slide or another chance of shaving something off the price for the 35L II.
