Will you have any room left in your camera bags, shelves or closets (or any
place else you hide^H^H^H^Hstore your camera gear after these?  If so,
you're not done yet!

A Zuikoholic's famous last words:
"Dear, I promise!  **This** is the **last** lens I will buy."
[that you will find out about]

More seriously, the 90mm Macro and 85mm are so very close in focal length.
I'd go for the 90mm if you want the macro capability.  If there's a bigger
gap elsewhere in the lineup I'd plug that.  The 90/2 has a stellar
reputation from macro to infinity and would make the 85/2 (or 100/2)
redundant for portraiture.  If you don't have something in the 135mm range,
I'd recommend that to complement a 90mm for portraiture work before getting
an 85mm.
