The 90mm lens IMHO is better suited to close-up photography than the 135, partly because the 135 doesn't focus as close to begin with. ELPRO VIIa will get you quite close with the 135 but you'll have a big gap between ELPRO and no ELPRO. There's lots more info at http://www.wildlightphoto.com/leica/close_up.html > 3.
