Not necessarily a rendering characteristic, but given an equivalent subject framing, the degree of blur will be higher on the Bigma due to f1.2, but also because of more compression from a narrower FOV. This is exaggerated for loosely framed shots where the focus distance is longer due to the focus shift on the GM. If the goal is the most pleasing bokeh for wide shots at fast aperture, it is a factor to consider.
GM contrast is on the hard side and that factors into the bokeh too, but it can be adjusted to a degree in post. I also find the skintone rendering to not necessarily be harsh, but a bit too revealing at times. Dynamic skin softener in Nik cleans this up nicely without taking global contrast down, but it is an extra step in post.
