Sherman,
it does not really matter, if the PCB vendor shoots for 85ohms or for example 
79ohm or 87ohm. As long as they do not have to use extreme line widths or end 
up with the need to choose a material with very low or very high resin 
content, they are all similar in difficulty.
However, we all like to use things, that have worked in the past. So if you 
stick with "standard" / typical impedance values, the PCB vendor may have used 
a construction in the past, that fulfills your needs. So instead of using a new 
stripline building block and having to optimize again, they like to use 
building blocks, they already have optimized.
So from this second argument, there is some merit in staying with the 85 or 100 
ohms.
Best regards,alex

Thanks.
Any practical concern from PCB vendor such as they are more deft in 85Ohm or 
100Ohm impd control?

The answer to your question is ... yes. A statistical channel simulation will 
help to show where the channel impedance will be centered.

Hi,
This idea may incur some controversial. Hope it's worthwhile.
It's like this:
In channel design, the optimal tline impedance actually depends on the fixed 
impedances of TX, RX, and connector, etc. Through optimization you can locate 
the best impedance for the trace, and it's not necessarily 85Ohm or 100Ohm. In 
this case, to explore every cent of the system performance potential, should we 
jump out of the frame of 85Ohm/100Ohm and choose to use other values?
