I am not sure bokeh is quantifiable as a metric, in the same way as SNR or DR, on a scale of 1-10 say, too many variables.
Bad bokeh is a bit like the famous expression about pornography - you know it when you see it. I try to be fair about the ZM lenses but they are a challenge. Most experienced users of the now six months old RX1 are close to over the moon about its bokeh qualities. I am especially happy with foreground bokeh and detail retention in focus fade.
To get similar sensor inputs you need a Nikon D800, it has a Sony sensor with near-identical characteristics to the 24Mp Sony unit. A D800/ZF 35/1.4 is 1.83 kgs, almost four times heavier than the RX1.
lovinglife, Tim Ashley has an interesting article on the 35mm Summilux FLE with some RX1 image comparisons, including bokeh:

I suspect you mean the D600, which shares the same basic silicon as the RX1's sensor, rather than the D800 which has a similar-tech but higher-density sensor most closely related to the 16MP APS-C unit that is so well loved.
