- it's bigger by a good 30 cm making storage and portability an issue
- it's an f9 scope compared to the ED80 which is f7.5
- Faintest Stellar Magnitude is almost identical (12.2 for the ED80 vs 12.7 for the ED100)
- ED80 could become my guide scope in the future where-as the ED100 is a bit too big for that.
So all up I decided to go with the ED80.
I pick it up tomorrow, so stay tuned and I'll post my experience with the scope & mount.
