Mike,
If cash flow is not a problem, and you can get both lenses for a reasonable
price
in EX condition you might want to buy both and try them out to see which you
prefer. In the end you might find that the 85-250 works well for you and then
you
could sell off the 200 & 300. If on the other hand you decided you liked the
200 &
300 combo then you could sell off the 85-250. Then again you could always sell
the
200 and keep the 85-250 AND the 300. One does run the risk that once you have
all
three Zuikos in hand you won't be able to part with any of them. I think it is
time to announce to the kids that they had better start saving for college
themsleves. (These days even community college tuition would buy a few nice
lenses!) :)
