Err why?

50r to 100r = 122r
50r to 75r = 90r

Do I have the calcs right?

Okay. 75 ohm is -still- better than 100.

50r to 100r = 122r

SQRT(50*200) = 100

50r to 75r = 90r

SQRT(50*100) = 70.7

SQRT(50*140) = 84 ohms. Z0=75 ohms is closer to
84 ohms than is Z0=100 ohms. If you had a 200 ohm
feedpoint, Z0=100 ohms would be perfect.

Cecil already gave you the answer. A 90-degree line is called a
"geometric mean" transformer.

The required impedance is the square root of the product of the
desired R and the load R.

Here's a little tutorial:
