I've read many discussions about the difference between these two lenses, and surprisingly, people just said one is better or vice versa, without photos to illustrate that. I'm lucky to have both and I did a quick comparison using Sony A7ii (click for high resolution in Flickr)
 85 SSC Aspherical vs L
In summary, the SSC Aspherical is definitely a better lens with better contrast, less flare, and an edge over the FD L in term of center resolution, but it has worse purple fringing in the high contrast area.
Both lenses are awesome, but at least I'm happy that I spent more money for a better lens.

The older one is better, we all heard that but it's still kind of myth to know exactly what is the difference. It's more clear now but I still decide to keep them both. The L version was adjusted a bit so it can focus as close as 0.7m, and the focus ring is smoother, which can be nice sometime to prevent overusing the expensive SSC one.
@simbon4o: aren't you having the SSC? I see it in your lens list.

The smoothness of the focus ring can be fixed or changed by servicing the lens and the type of grease/lube you use, so I wouldn't decide on that alone.
The PF/bloom in the SSC I find somewhat less tolerable than the loss of contrast in the L, adding contrast in post is much easier than removing PF.
They are still both good lenses.
