Thank you everyone for your input so far, and a special thanks to rrussell1962 for inviting me around to his place for a chat and a wonderful evening of looking at the sky through some of his scopes.
The experience was fantastic. Fortunately he has a Celestron SE8 and a Vixen ED80, both had goto's, but as I found out, it's all about the looking, and I gotta admit that right now I'm pretty impressed by the ED80, not quite as bright as the SE8 tonight, but to me it was sharper and more immersive. I'm now in the market for an ED(something). As I saw in real life, they're just as portable as well (bonus).
There seem to be a few makes of ED refractors out there, so would appreciate any of your comments and recommendations on them.
Jim
