Skip,

IMO, no.  If size/weight is important to you, you already have the 100/2.8.
If hurt-your-retinas-sharpness is important to you, you have the 90/2.  The
85/2 is a great little lens and performs well wide open, but you've already
got the important areas covered -- focal length, size, weight and sharpness.
