Nice stuff. You're heavily weighted toward portrait, so it makes sense. Still, I find that using an f/4 70-200mm in the 100mm range gives nice bokeh. For a dedicated portrait lens, I'd agree and go with an 85mm f/2.
Noobs should realize that you can get bokeh a couple of ways. With a wide-angle lens, you really need a large aperture. At 80mm or so, then getting close at f/4 can give pleasing bokeh.
