Clearly it's "10 better"
Really just looks like an updated version. A small design change that yielded some updated specs in terms of Xover and slightly less weight.

Alan,
As Kip surmises the DE85TN is 10 better
It is an updated DE75PTN with shorting copper cap to increase HF sensitivity and reduce distortion. Same diaphragm. The P in the DE75PTN stands for its plastic phase plug, as opposed to the original machined aluminum in the DE75. The DE85TN also has a plastic phase plug, but it always has so there is no distinct product code.
The DE75PTN has really been replaced by the DE750TN, which has a bigger magnet and therefore better sensitivity, and also incorporates a shorting copper cap.
