The G model is definitely more up to date and cost a little more. Also more plastic material use in its construction.
If you want a better portrait lens, I use a 135mm DC. There's nothing better. I use it most of the time for models.
Or slightly less expensive, a used 105 DC from KEH, paid less than $1K for mine (LN-), about a year ago (right now they have them listed for $792 - $849, EX - LN- ). The 135mm DC is there, also, for $919 - $1035...
