are you guys after the new coatings? if not and you are more interested in the classic look, look at the Contax 135/3.5 as well as the 100/2 planar or makro planar. the sonnar 90/2.8 in G and the 85/2.8 have beautiful rendering at least for me.
100/2 is regarded as a zeiss 3d pop machine.
Which 100/2 is that (you mention a planar as well as the makro planar)?
Of all the lenses I’ve sold over the years, the Makro Planar 2/100 ZE is one that I wish I still owned. The Apo 2/135 is perfect, but clinical and lacks character (Batis likewise). The 2/100mm ZE just has a special magic in the rendering. Also it’s a lot smaller/lighter than the 2/135mm.
