Maybe if you go in the 100's but 80 or 85 makes no real difference between the two

+1. Considering all the variables involved (condition of fasteners, accuracy/repeatability of wrench, &c), +/- 5 lb-ft isn't a big deal. Get them as close to spec as you can but don't be obsessive about it. Getting them even is important; be consistent.
