lets say i luck out stock at 65....my 221 shares now worth 14365.. my put expires worthless..so 8500 still mine...my 120 bought with the premium worth 7800..so i end with 16300...a bit better than the long with same risk..

This analysis is flawed - the put does not expire worthless. You have to take 100 shares at 85 when the current value is 65. So you have to subtract $2000, which gives you 14300 compared to 14365 - a wash.
