A 1985 SPG is just a 900T with special bumpers, so it'd be a pretty favorable comparison to a 1990 900T. Brakes are not nearly as good, but pretty much the same otherwise. Compared to a 1990 SPG, however, you've got a pretty different animal - the '85 lacks the brakes, suspension, and power the 1990 will have.
*Personally* I would avoid an '85 for daily driver duty. If you're looking for a garage queen I wouldn't worry, but the '85 is missing many of the niceties the later 900s had, all the special bits the later SPGs had, and is pretty unique in a large number of ways. Not that any of this can't be fixed/adjusted/lived with, but if you're going to that trouble, why buy the '85 in the first place?
