physical dimensions - electronically they appear to be the same. If
that's the case, why would anyone pay £130 more than they need to?
And why would Panasonic produce two different (identical) models?
What am I missing?
I could be wrong but isn't the difference the 100Hz scanning on
products with an 85 in the code?

No, it's definitely not that. I can't give you a direct link because it won't allow it but, if you go here:
http://www.richersounds.com/productlist.php?cda=productlist&sgroup=PLASMA and tick the boxes for both the PZ80 and PZ85B, then click on the "Compare" link, a new window opens with all the features of each telly listed side-by-side - and they're identical except for the physical size.

If you go to:

http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/385811/module/general/compare/productsCategory.html

and tick the two models it shows differences - mainly in the sound system but also the 85 variant has a top-up-tv card slot.
