Yes, for good bokeh ten blades will always trump five.

Talking about bokeh: did any of you watch *Star Wars Episode III*?  
While watching it I was struck by how well the CGI scenes were made  
to simulate bokeh.

I mean, the entire city of Coruscant is computer-generated - there's  
just a blue screen in the background! -  but whenever the camera  
focussed on a face in the foreground, the CGI city faded into soft  
focus with marvellous bokeh.

Cheers.
