I won't get into the guide-scope Vs OAG debate, each has their respective merits. Plus I currently use a guide-scope, but have in the past also used an OAG.

I'd run a few numbers though before making a broad statement about costs. What did the Orion ST80 cost? A decent OAG can be about the $100+ used, up to serious money.
If you are going to use an SCT, the OAG "might" be better.
Now you have the ST80, keep trying of course, but if you see an OAG in the Buy/Sell section, give it some thought.
