Toni, I'm suggesting a used R2, not a new one.
If the CL is the camera for you, terrific; I'm just not sure if it makes sense to pick a camera with frame lines that are different than your primary lens. There are terrific 40 mm lenses available for the CL, inlcuding the Minolta Rokkor 40/2 & the Rollei 40/2.8 as well as the CV & the Summicron-C.
Regarding the bokeh of the CV 40/1.4, I've seen some really nice bokeh with this lens & I know a portrait photographer that loves its look wide open for his professional work. A number of things affect bokeh, including lighting, the business of the background, & the distance of the subject from the camera& from the background. Pictures you've seen may be examples of bad photography rather than bad bokeh. I also wonder how often you are planning to shoot at f/1.4 & f/2, which is where bokeh will be a big factor. As you stop down from there, it becomes less of an element in the picture.
Just my 2 cents . . .
