This (the aspherical element) raises question marks regarding its bokeh quality ...

The "new" AF-S 50mm f1.4 G does not shine (at all) regarding bokeh quality either. Does it have an aspherical element? I think it does not, I seem to remember its optical design being similar to the old AF D?
Lets hop you are wrong concerning bokeh smoothness.. Anyway, I am not clear on why Nikon decided to such a radical optical redesign of the old 50mm f1.8, as it is a great lens, sharpness wide, already, with (for Nikon) low CA too.
And lets hope the 50mm f1.8 AF-S implementation is not as dog slow as that from the AF-S 50mm f1.4!
And the old 50mm's are much more handsome, in my opinion!
