I think the stiffness is actually about equal. It's just that when I focus the 90 I hear/feel a kind of "ssshhhhhh" sensation, where the 75 is silent and buttery-smooth. This is hair-splitting that comes up only when I'm playing with the lenses, though. When I'm actually shooting, I don't notice any mechanical differences.
