I never had the Summilux version I but I highly doubt that its bokeh is the same as in the very unique looking 50/1.5 Summarit lens (which I own). Can the Summilux make this kind of bokeh? I highly question this! Show and convince me! 

Photos below taken with the Leica 50/1.5 Summarit lens. I especially love the triangular-shaped bokeh circles which I find very unique for this lens. My Canon 50/1.4 (Japanese Summilux) which supposedly is very close to the Leica version I Summilux does not give me this kind of rendering. That's why I keep both of them because they are so different.

Just buy the summilux 1 and test for yourself.

 

Comparing with a Canon lens which is “supposedly close” is total nonsense.

Show me your photo examples please instead of coming with armchair responses.

Again, show me examples. My examples above were taken at f/2.0 (since for the photos above I would have needed a ND filter to cope with the needed camera exposure limit). It exactly opposes what you say from your only in-theory statements. Show me practical photo examples please to prove your point. 

You show us the differences, will you?

Or better yet, why won’t you read the link where it’s all explained?

I did and provided examples. The link falls short in providing what I observed in my own taken photos here, too. You so far offer nothing of value here.

So far the armchair response is yours. What are you achieving by showing pictures of only one lens?

Until yesterday, it was a widely recognized and acknowledged fact that the Lux V1 and summarit f1.5 were identical... and then you came. 
So far, you are the one who should prove us all wrong, not the opposite. Until you can show both lenses side by side, please don’t borher.

Martin,

Sorry I had the first model Summilux 50mm for very short time to see that in many aspects it behave like my Summarit 1.5 that I still use, so sold it quickly.

I'm too lazy to search for those 'crap pics' 😉.

 

I also had for a while the 50 Lux asph. which in this respect is far worse with those Ninja Stars hight ligh spots, so sold also.

Another units 50mm Summilux II/III came in between, I still use three of those, and took the opening aperture for fun comparing to the round of Summarit 1.5:
