Apart from the mounts being cast on different positions on the head what are the other differences between an 850 and 900 head?
Bigger valves on 900/better porting etc?
I am aware the cams are different with 900 ones having a phase sensor

The valves are definitely the same as the later revised Trx ones. Not certain of internal differences but I would expect the porting to be the same as the Trx and 850Tdm. I believe the external differences are well understood and documented on this forum.

The inlet ports are scolloped to allow for the injector spray pattern :D and the external casting is different…plus…..mmmmm

And the TRX enjun is a bitch to carry, whilst the 900 is much lighter. I´ve tried both :)
