Arrow New Taurus 85 vs. Used S&W 60

I'm about to pull the trigger(no pun intended) on a new purchase. It will be used for a BUG or summer carry. The Taurus is +P but the S&W is not and there is a $70 difference in price, between the two. Feedback and comments would be appreciated.

I have the taurus 85 titanium sp? It is a great carry gun. I use speer gold dots for the short muzzle. You won't even know you are carring it.

If you have to,save some more money & get a S&W J frame that will handle +P or get one in .357mag.

If money is that important,get a used Ruger sp101. They go for around 300$.
They're built like tanks & will last forever buy they're heavy.

IF the S&W is a pre lock, the price difference is worth it.

I went back today to make a purchase and what do you know some came in and snatched up that 60. But in its place was a used 85 UL for $199, which I couldn't pass up.
