Sure the ed80 is capable of lovely widefield views, but where there is light polution the scope is much less useful unfortunately.
As for high power viewing, the little scope just runs out of light before the magnification gets very high at all. This is worse where light polution prevents you from becoming properly dark adapted.

FWIW my 15x70 binos are just as usefull.
