Great thing about an 'ed80' is that it will also be useful as a guidescope/grab & go/travel-scope/terrestrial telephoto etc. Also if you decide to upgrade and want to sell, it will hold its value pretty well.

Downside is that it certainly won't have the focal-length for galaxies or planetary imaging.

There are often ed80s in the IIS classifieds section for reasonable prices so do your research and keep watch if you decide to go that way.
