Nikon lenses CAN be decentered too, with your luck you might just hit a very decentered one <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I would just get the lens that gives you what you want, and let any decentering defects be "repaired" or replaced.
The Sigma 85mm f1.4 for instance is such a lot cheaper, it is worth the try. And a 150mm f2.8 macro from Sigma is a great lens without any Nikon equivalent...
There are many SIgma lenses that behave ok too. My old 18-50mm f2.8 does not have any noticable decentering problems for instance.

The S85 seems to have other .... advantages ... too.
