It is a very close call, but convenience mostly. The 85 is a big lens,
and the 77 is very compact. Having a smaller front element, the 77 also
less prone to flare.
The 77 is probably a tad sharper wide open, but without direct
comparison, I couldn't tell. The slight speed difference isn't a
hindrance in practice.

That's not to bad the price this dealer is asking is just a little bit

I seen some of you guys wax lyrical about it is this lens really that good ?

Yes. I prefer the 77 these days, but the 85 is a wonderful portrait
lens. Beautiful beautiful bokeh.
