Yes 90AA can render harsh/non-smooth bokeh in harder bokeh scenes where there is less distance between subject and background. I like 100 APO and 85/1.4 better for bokeh.
I think the 80/1.4 has beautiful creamy bokeh wide open to f/2, and the 100 isn't bad at portrait distances wide open, but I think the non-AA 90 cron (e55 Canadian or German) bests them both from f/2-5.6.

Also 1ds3 has the best low ISO Canon IQ IMHO. Better than 1ds2.
If you're shooting landscapes, exteriors/interiors and macros, I agree. I think the DsII's better with skin tones and the simpler rendering/colors tends to work out better for B&W conversions. Since switching to Sony, I find I miss the DsII at times, but I don't miss the DsIII at all.
