Yes, the towable unit is real handy, also it's cheaper for insurance purposes. We tries a few ver the years, some were good, some were really "bad"; slow and/or shaky.
Lamplighter's suggestion regarding 'height' is really great advice. Nothing like owning a 30' (+/-) truck, and going to a site with 40' poles....if all you do is site lighting.
Yes, owning 85' is good, if you can use it frequently, but 'overkill' don;t look to good in the eyes of the client. Took the TECO to a shop ctr with 40' & 14' poles, and the comments from the prop mgr when he got to the site while we were on the 14' poles was untypable here.
