Well, the budget has become more like a guideline which has been cast away with reckless abandon
I ordered an EQ6R from bintel. Thanks Carlton for pointing out they had them, I must of had a boys looks before, and Martin for the additional guidance.
I've also decided to step up to the Esprit ED100 (now ordered as well) as I realised I would spend an additional $1000 for it but probably wouldn't be forking out $3.5K on top of ED80 to attain one for quite some time. Thanks Dunk for pointing out how to interpret the specs. Now that you point it out it is obvious. I glanced over 'Diameter of the corrected field' entry without understanding its significance first time around.
