Nikon 60mm macro or 85 mm Macro which is better

[Feg]

I'm using the first of the 60mm's and I love it.Really flat field which is good for copying flat stuff.Used it on a D200 and D700.Obiously get a bit more mag on the smaller sensor but awesome on both.Really sharp standard/portrait lens as well.If I was going to get a new one I'd consider the longer one but...Plenty of really cheap second hand older 60mm around.Ex police etc.

Anyone interested in the Tamron 60mm f/2 macro, Teds are currently selling it for $499 (saw in a recent catalogue). That's an excellent price for Australia.
