Two Eta Carina nebula Shots for comparison

Hi all,
I know its a fairly easy target, but I just modded my Canon 1000D and wanted to test it out using my 8" F4 Newt and the little ED80.
Which one do you guys think is better?
Also, anyone know why I have double diffraction spikes with the Newt?

Image 1 (Newt ) : 20 x 120 sec subs iso400, 10 Darks modded 1000D
Image 2 ( ED80 ) : 10 x 180secs subs iso400, 10 darks, modded 1000D

Both images guided.

Thanks for looking.
