I'm a bit surprised that you aren't pleased with the 85/2 as it is one of my
favorite lenses. The 35/2 isn't my favorite, just because almost every zoom
I own goes that wide.  As for the 35-80/2.8, it is an amazing lens, but
combines heavy with expensive. If I am only carrying a body and a lens,
that's the one I often carry (although the 35-70/3.5-4.5 gets just as much
use).

Me, I'd try to find a nice 35-70/3.5-4.5 first.  The 35-80/2.8 goes for
close to $1000 used ($1300 new at B&H).
