Except for the poor contrast LCD. TI put that right with the TI-86, which is kind of what the TI-85 should have been.

86 vs. 85 generally comes down to a matter of preference. The 86 has a better screen, lots more memory, and some added features from the 82/83, but it's also much slower, the list editor is clumsier, and the keyboard isn't quite as good.
