To begin with never sell the 100mm APO F 2.8!!  The 70-180mm F2.8 APO is as
awsum as the 100mm F2.8 APO but it is heavy.  I took it (70-180mm F2.8 APO)as
a main lens to the Anartica and luged it off and on a rubber dingy twice a day
with a carbon fibre tripod and did not regret it once.  It is expensive and
heavy.  Personally I still have a 180 mm F3.4 APO but use it very seldom.  I
have never used a 135mm.  Like wise I have a 135 mm F2.8 for the M6 and have
never used it either.  It does have a beautiful leather Leica case and that is
the only reason I keep it.

It will probably be a rough decision and good luck.
