OK I'm sold. I'm getting a 77 Limited.

Funny everyone who has doubts seems to be someone who hasn't
tried it.
I am telling you from experience, the difference is clearly
visible even
at that size. This is why when my wife shows photos I took of
our
children playing with their friends to people, they
unknowingly ask for
mainly shots taken with the 77 as reprints/enlargements. The
ratio is
unbelievable and undeniably meaningful. They never asked for
enlargements before.
Since I don't use zooms a whole lot, I can't comment on
comparisons between zooms and the 77.
I can comment on the difference between the 77 and the M85mm f/2
(not a highly regarded lens, but as good as most zooms, I
expect).
The difference in quality is visible to the naked eye looking at
slides on a light box. The difference is glaringly obvious in a
4x6 print.
