I am a 5'4" female and dive both double 85s and 95s. I would prefer the 85s for shore diving, but they both trim out well. I like the 95s because I can use my AL backplate and knock off a few lbs. The actual weight difference between my 85s setup (with bp/w and harness) and my 95s set up is only 8 lbs. The 85s require either my steel backplate or few lbs of weight and they tend to get butt light when they are breathed down. Since you already have the 95s, you might as well double them up and try them. The $500 that a set of 85s will run cost can be spent on a gym membership - lots of squats, leg presses and core exercises and those 95s will get lighter.
