I would have to get in way too close with the 85mm for headshots; everything looks much more flattering at 135mm for photos like mine, maybe even 100mm but no closer. I think 135 is the definite sweet spot. for photos like yours, or this http://www.davidvrj.com/Category/Headshots/i-bZGLQcX/0/L/pinup-L.jpg I’d definitely prefer the 85mm as I’d be the same distance away to capture that much of the subject

 

(ignore the fact that it says “pinup”; a chick challenged me to take pinup photos and I asked her if that counts. I took the photo before she challenged me and just saved it with that name)
