I think we're trying to compare apples and oranges here. The two lenses have nothhing in common, except the mount. You need to compare their respective 35mm-equiv. focal lengths to make that more obvious: One is a 85/1.8, the other a 136/3.0 and that's that really. I dont't think anyone of You had bothered to compare these focal lengths in full format, right? Right. It's the same sort of thing when you compare f/1.4-lenses to their f/1.8-counterparts in full format systems. The only thing you can compare a f/1.4 lens to is another f/1.4 lens. As for the example picture given (56 APD vs. 90), at least to me it's astounding how clearly the 56 APD shows it's "dollar value" for creamy and wonderful bokeh. No outlines to light sources. If You like that sort of bokeh (I do) the 56 APD delivers, the 90 doesn't. Even more interesting: the comparison between the 56 and the 56 APD.
