I think you are making a wise decission, do your homework, there are a lot of really excellent scopes within the 80 -105mm range, you may have to pay a bit more than your budget but it will be worth it. With your setup you will also probably have to consider weight, keep that in mind.
As has already been said, don't be bias against the ED80, it might just be what you are looking for, focal length can be reduced easily and you can't beat the price.
