However, the 80 weighs around 1 kg, and I wonder if the wider field of the 50 will be of better function in the field.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Can your eyes handle field curvature Marcus?
If not you might be disappointed with the RFT aspect of the 13 x 80.
Being an F3.7 scope it naturally has a lot.
So does the F4 9 x 50 of course but you would probably not expect a RFT experience with this one.
With the narrower FOV of the 13 x 80 you might need a red dot type finder as well to get you in the ball park.
Also Nagler 31 plus Paracorr plus 1Kg finder equals a heap of counter weight on the bottom of your 12" dob.
Can't argue about the extra light grasp though.
