If you like the normal 75-80 on medium format then the 135 will feel slightly wider. The change of proportions and sheer size makes translating focal lengths between formats only a rough guesstimate, never an exact science.
A 135 or 150 is really the best bet because most of them will fold into the camera (all but the smallest 90 Angulon will not) and the 135-150 normal lenses are going to be brighter on the ground glass and easier to focus (and generally figure out what's going on).
The 90 makes a great second lens once you get the hang of it!
