Some good photos of the Lumpro LP160 link
Looks pretty and simple, also the idea of two "ready" lights sounds good.
The Yongnuo looks a bit more complicated link

Get some Blue-Tak and warm it up a bit to make it stickier. I normally boil the kettle and flatten the Blue-Tak against the hot side.
Make/Roll it into something resembling a piece of string.
Form a circle on a Formica table top the right diam. to take the filter.
Push the filter into the Blue-Tak until it grips strong enough to allow you to unscrew the lens.
Don't forget to remove the Blue-Tak and keep it handy it you've bought a K-7 off TechFurb you might need it to hold the lens on

The only problem is that a polarizer is made to turn so you don't unscrew it but simply turn the filter that way Get some Blue-Tak and warm it up a bit to make it stickier. I normally boil the kettle and flatten the Blue-Tak against the hot side.

btw a sole of your shoes works a bit cleaner I think than Blue-Tak
Simply push the shoe-sole on top of the filter and turn.
oh I remember another tip, you can wrap elastic rubber band around the filter for extra grip.
if all els fails link

I believe we already had this topic.
Best thing to do is buy an B+W those doesn't stick so easy
I had several but I forgot most.
One was a power-cord, that plastic/rubber grips good.
Or put it in the cooling.

I'm now behind my fathers PC, cheap LCD screen not calibrated and it indeed looks almost perfect but at home behind my calibrated CRT screen I could clearly see things in the background.

Like Whelmed said it's a lens thing.
This explains most of it in an understandable way http://toothwalker.org/optics/bokeh.html
I was thinking you could maybe get smoother bokeh if you make the if you apply an soften/blur filter to the lens but only at the edge but not the centre, I still need to try it out if it works or not.

Thank you for exploring the processing, like said lighting is very important I believe and Matt you come very close.
I think you need to underexpose your photos to get it precisely right, it will also darken the background a lot.

Ah okay my fault, in the rest of Europe they centralize it. I think the office is now in French and in Germany.
Here just look at this, there is little Pentax in that list http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/repair_entry-europe.html
