Ultrafina has a nice finish and is alot faster than 85RD, 85RD is slower but has a better finish to it.

I think this is going to be sheer matter of opinion here as both are very good. I have used both and just love Ultrafina. They both accomplish the same thing but Ultrafina has been a dream to work with.

I agree but the 85RD has the edge on the finish, if you are pressed for time UF is your best friend.

I agree..the PO85RD has a slight edge on the finished look....UF has a nice finished look also..but the 85RD just has a deeper look to it...like polished glass...more clarity ...sharper ..

I think you should get 106ff, UF, and 85rd.

I haven't used UF SE as much as I have used 85rd but I think the finished gloss factor is higher with the menz...
