Very nice test!

Shows clearly that 200mm @f/2.8 is not even close to 85/1.2 in terms of the blur.

Of course the 70-200 2.8 you can compress more and the zoom usability is huge in situations.  I found the colors to be a touch duller on the 70-200.

There are some videos online that show the DS vs non DS as well.

Taken from the second youtube (he doesn't like the DS look). The 50mm 1.2 is similar to the left as well:
