Was gonna buy a G9 but just saw a used G85 in a camera shop for $280 bucks. What to do?

Enjoy it.  You have little to lose and can always trade or sell it should an irresistible G9 deal come along later.  I have both.  Yes, the G9 is better in many ways and best for use with the 100-400mm but the G80/85 is completely good enough for everyday use and noticeably smaller/lighter.
