Thanks all.
Yeah okay I think I'm convinced. If I get a proper guiding setup now, it'll work great with both the ED80 and whatever I inevitably upgrade to down the track. Makes more sense for a variety of reasons to bypass the standalone guider and just get something decent now. I've got an old laptop that should do the trick so will load PHD2 on it and keep an eye out for reasonably priced secondhand guidescopes & cameras.
Thanks again everyone.
