Mitakon Creator 85/2 II vs Vivitar 85/1.8: out-of-focus area blur

I continue to compare the Mitakon [Zhongyi] Creator 85/2 II and the Vivitar [OEM] 85/1.8 lenses. This summer, I tested the blur in the out-of-focus areas at the widest apertures (f/2 and f/1.8, respectively).

As expected, the Mitakon's circle of confusion is slightly smaller, but smoother. However, I thought the difference would be greater (see for example the comparison of two 50mm lenses).

I still haven't decided which of these two 85mm lenses to retain.
