Nikon 40mm macro vs Nikon 85mm macro?

Im currently using the nikon 40mm macro lens.
It works quite well but i shoot macro with no tripod, and i try to use high f stops to increase my depth of field.So they often come out slightly off because this causes my shutter speed to have to be lower.and more importantly i have to get right up on everything to get the minimum focus distance.

I was wondering if getting the 85mm would be helpful, seeing as the 85mm would mean i could be further away. (so to create depth of field and not scare away my subjects)
plus the fact that it has VR to stop the blur of it being hand held.

I assume it would be beneficial to upgrade, but i wanted to get some other opinions first.
