I am I correct in assuming that you're going to be putting an ED80 on whichever mount you choose?
If so, the AZEQ5 would be fine, it handles up to 15kg (in equatorial mode) and given that it weighs less than the EQ6, it would be easier to set up in the regard.
It really depends on whether you can see yourself buying a heavier telescope in the near future, in which case the AZEQ6 would be the better choice.
