What's the difference between the 85 and 95? The 85 is much dearer than the 95. Which would you say is better in terms of price, comfort, useability?

I assume you're talking about the Naos 85. The reason it's so much more expensive is that it's waterproof. For that amount of money I'd just get a non-waterproof pack and bring along a rain cover. There is a Bora 80L pack if you're looking for something large, but smaller than the 95L pack. It's much less expensive than either of the first two options.
