Hi Jackson. To the best of my knowledge bokeh is more aligned to the design and spherical aberration of the lens itself rather that the effect of the number of aperture blades. from what I've read, once you have a iris with seven or more blades the difference is virtually unnoticeable. Especially when you think that with "Good" bokeh, the circles of confusion have a bright centre and very fuzzy edges, then that would make sense. The test roll that I took didn't include any shots that really show up the bokeh one way or the other, but next roll I put through I'll take some shots to test it. As you suggest, it can't be bad for the aperture to be a perfect cirle!
