Canon RF 85 f2 vs RF 100 2.8 L

Has anyone upgraded from the RF 85mm f2 to the RF 100 2.8 L? As a portrait lens, is it sharper? Is the render of bokeh better on the L lens?

You can look at the bokeh in Ken Rockwell's tests:

But most of your questions are pretty subjective.

There is no way I would buy a 100mm in favor of an 85mm for a strictly portrait lens. I don't care what the bokeh is.

Keep the 85mm and learn Photoshop.
