Yes the 90APOASPH will equal or better it's performance slightly I think but a 90 is not a 135. I've felt the same often feeling I have to bring everything with the one thing at home being the one thing that I seem to always need. But do you always bring your R system along too? I've had some definite experience in the M system bringing everything with doing a lot of changing in between the 90 and the 135 because one was decidedly preferred over the other at a certain time. They are not both "close" or the same. Yes I am obviously being presumptuous with your very personal needs but you sound like an intensive "shooter" and I'd hate to see you loose out. No offence given or taken, just presumption. Mark Rabiner
