The diff in diameter is negligible.
The 135mm is a superb lens, sharp as a tack and has beautiful bokeh for terrestrial.
It's a top performer for both terrestrial and astro.

The biggest advantage of the 70-200 f/2.8 over the 135mm is obviously the zoom range.

It's a hard choice, I'd buy the 135mm but if you want the versatility go for the 70-200mm f/2.8.

You won't regret either.
