Ok, after a bit circular thinking, I'm leaning towards a 8" SCT. Seems a better general purpose option with the extra aperture vs SW ED100. Now I need to narrow down the best combo. Andrews looks to have the best prices, so my options appear to be:

1. C8 with CGEM = $2499
2. C8 with AVX = $2499
3. C8 with HEQ5 Pro = $2699
4. LX80 with EQ5 Pro = $2099
5. LX80 with HEQ5 Pro = $2299
6. LX80 with AVX = $2299

Any advice here? There is $600 between the cheapest and most expensive. That equals a couple EPs and a Lymax cooler. But I don't wanna cheap out, because this will be my one and only for several years...
