I was in the same situation last year. I narrowed it down to a TV85 or FC76 for something to use for travel and quick sessions. I can't remember all the reasons why I chose the TV, but the extra aperture, included accessories and lower cost were a few reasons.
I didn't buy the TV85 expecting anything amazing from the optics, but I was stunned at how incredible this little telescope performs. Far better than I ever thought a doublet could perform.
Mounted on a DSV-M mount and gitzo carbon tripod it weighs about 7kg, so is easy to carry outside in one hand. I take it to the U.S. with me and it's been a great travel scope, which is what I mainly bought it for.
