Since you've been able to figure things out ok so far, I would say stay
with the 86. The 86 has about 3 times as much memory as the 85 and it is
a much better calculator in my opinion. The 86 has features that the 85
lacks. The TI-85 is a pretty old calculator. Check out
http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/gmtrx.htm for a comparison of all the
calculators.
