There is much more to bokeh than just the number of aperture blades. The number/shape of the blades help to determine the shape of the out of focus highlights, but there are other qualities that are important too. Are the highlights ring-like or do they blend smoothly together. Do some objects get the double-vision effect or do they just fade away. These qualities are effected primarily by the optical design of the lens.

But, yes, the 35mm has perfectly unobjectionable though not super-creamy bokeh. You won't be dissapointed.
