I agree with everything Geoff said. Re Saxon ED80, it's like the others of that type i.e., Orion, Skywatcher... The WO is more compact (does not have oversized tube) and has a better focuser. Performance-wise the ED80 is great for its aperture, but that aperture is rather limiting esp under light polluted skies. I did own an ED80 also alongside an 8" Dob, and my experience matches Geoff's and I too have sold the ED80.
