The 70-200 f2.8 is very versatile, yet I like the look of the photos from the 85mm 1.8. It's a little sharper, a little more than a stop faster, and not nearly as noticeable as the big white lens.

I agree with all your assessments except for the sharpness. I do not believe my 85 f/1.8 is as sharp as my 70-200 f/2.8 blunderbuss.
