One of those lenses they probably won't be designed today, but would surely be missed

If you get similarly good copies the 100mm is the sharper lens. I agree that the 85mm is a more versatile focal length while the 100mm compresses the background more. It all comes down to personal preference.

In this review, 4 copies of 100mm f/2 were evaluated and consistently were found to be noticeably less sharp than 85mm, it's one of the reasons I decided to get 85mm instead of 100:
