Why not try the 100/2 USM? I love it.

It's soft at f2, but that might not be a problem for portraits.

Soft is a relative term, but according to The Digital Picture the 100/2.0 is less soft at f/2.0 than the 135/2.0 L except in the center

and the mid-frame, which together with the center is all that matters. Very little PF as well.
