Keep us posted on your experiences with the 105mm E, please.
Your question wrt portraits' sharpness and bokeh reminds me of some useful authoritative remarks that have been published in recent weeks.
A Nikon-lens uberguru -- apologies for conflating a German word and a Hindi word into a new English word -- who clearly has influenced the 105mm E, says portraits do not require ultimate sharpness, as a practical matter. He also invites tuning sharpness with aperture, distance, and post. See the latest tale about 105mm 1.8S. http://nikkor.com/story/0059/. Also notes bokeh can be largely independent of moderate sharpening under certain circumstances.
Note that the 105mm E inherits from the 1.8S (per the above reference) and, per http://nikkor.com/technology/01.html, from the current 58mm G, and ultimately from the Micro-NIKKOR Auto 55mm f/3.5.
