1. 135mm EF f/2L USM
2. EF70-200 f/2.8L USM both of these are the same price so money isn't an issue. thanks.

I'd go for, and will be going for, when the AUD is back at a respectable level cf the USD , the EF 70-200 f/2.8L (IS model) .... I will be using it for more than just astrophotography.
Only gaining one stop to get the EF 135mm f/2L . It's also a bit smaller 72mm diam cf 77mm diam for the EF 70-200 f/2.8L so you'll loose some the advantage of going from f2.8 to f2 in the light gathering stakes.
