I might quibble with the exact details here-or-there slightly, but I'd say that Arnold's guide overall is a pretty good one. After having had a chance to try out several 85's ( http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/85compar/ ), I currently am down to "only" three - the A* 85/1.4, the FA* 85/1,4 (which is actually my wife's), and the Kenko 85/2.5 Soft.
