Bokeh busier even at f1.2 in this particular scenario than I recall in other

Bokeh is ridiculously tricky. Whenever someone claims a lens has good, or bad bokeh, I take it with a grain of salt.
Yes, OoF areas may be very different with different lenses @ same FL and aperture.
BUT, it may also vary wildly with distances to focal plane and to things in front of and behind the focal plane, on the
same lens, @ same aperture. Move camera and subject relative to background, but not to each other - the bokeh changes.
Move the camera away from the subject, and the bokeh changes, but so do the
sizes of subject and background(s).
Simple, limited example:
<http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Lenses/Soft%20Focus/Fallen%20Pot/BokehPot.htm>
Background barely behind focal plane, bokeh pretty rough.
Background from almost FP through middle distance, to infinity. Pretty busy
Move a little closer, bokeh almost painterly
And its a real difference, not just mag., shot two, enlarged to match.
Change distances a little bit, different light, different bokeh.
Many Variables Moose

What if the Hokey Pokey *IS* what it's all about?
