IMHO 6080 is the better of the two sets. Here are my reasons. 6080 is built on a larger baseplate. The two plates in the back of the 6085 are 16x16 while those of 6080 are 16x24 I believe. The castles cover the same area but 6080 has more plate in (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.reviews)

I'd agree that 6085 is more aesthetically attractive that 6080, but doesn't it bother anyone else that 6085 is essentially a remake of an old set? I mean, even the dungeons are in the same corner on both castles. You would have thought they could (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.reviews)
