I enjoyed looking at your images.

I have owned the 85 1.8.  its a very nice lens.

the 85LII is a fair bit sharper than than 85.18 at 1.8, and stays so till about f 2.8.  From all I have read teh f1.4L is even sharper. So I am surprised you did not find much a difference.  I also find the L (the 1.2 version at least) to have a nicer and more saturated color than 1.8.  I would have expected for that to be true about the 1.4L IS also.

Nice practical review.
