There is $400 price difference, and I can't tell what is the difference??

Am I missing something here?

Yes, a small difference.
Defocus Smoothing Coating for Soft Bokeh costs the extra.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

I just found video that explained that too, so this would only effect portraits?

Not really. It affects subject vs background — whatever
the subject is. For portraits, it creates a more pleasing
separation using the 400 $ defocus feature.

I personally did not go that way.
