The flex would be the same, but if you want a shot to load up a stick a similar distance on a shorter stick, you'll need to bend the stick more, and therefore a higher flex.
I'm 5'11, 215 and I play with an uncut 75 flex (it's about 2" shorter than an uncut 85") and I use it because it lets me be a lot more deceptive with my wrist shot since I barely need to put any weight on it to get it to load up. The slap shots suck, but for the kind of shinny I play, the opportunities for slap shots are minimal.
