I have no direct experience with the 85 but read some critical posts about it on Cloudy Nights.

A quick search shows some complaints about tilt and the focuser. The earlier versions of the SQ106ED had that a lot.

By the time you add the flattener and reducers etc you would not be very far from a 106EDX which of course is the standard in widefield scopes.
