Thanks for posting boke samples - if there are more samples please post!
Short analysis of posted sample images this far:
- MaTiHH's lion head did not give new info; subject to background distance is so great that everything is very blurred and any boke quality issues are hidden under enormous quantity of boke.
- 1st photo of lady&dog posted by charles.K boke seems to behave well on large distance shot, and subject seems to stand out well. Other images did not contain useful info.
- DannyBurkPhoto's flower photo is quite interesting - ratio of distances of subject and background is large or very large, so boke should be smooth, but no it's not; on high frequency detail (e.g. tree bark far away and brown stuff on bottom left corner) seem to be pretty busy. Background flowers and trees render quite smoothly. I think I did see this image earlier in FE-megathread or Loxia thread, for which I originally started to wonder how bad/god is the Loxia 21 boke quality.
- Bobu's horse has nice and smooth background boke both on high frequency detail (grass) and high contrast low frequency detail (mountains etc.)
- AGeoJO's tree image is pretty revealing; on image edge (long edge) boke highlights seem to have issue of having light concentration to edge of boke "circle", making boke edgy and rough. Boke is more calm closer to image centre. I have seen modern overcorrected lenses do this, but 2 stops down is quite surprising to see.

Bokeh has a lots of color transitions. Slight contrast/saturation push or a different profile/editor can show a complete different result.
All of those pictures are processed to taste. A comparison to your stile looks very difficult. As Guy already said, rent one. Or my advice: Ask for RAWs and process them by your own.
