I'm really caught in the horns of a dilemma. I can't make my mind up between the Saxon ED80 with a WO replacement 10:1 focusser at a total cost of ~$900 or going the whole bottle and getting a William Optics Megrez 80mm triplette ED apochromatic with vixen mounting plate, mounting rings, 2" quartz diagonal, 7x50 spotting scope at a cost of ~$2300. I want to use the scope purely for photographic work with a Canon 350D.
My question is - "is the Megrez worth the extra in the long run or will the ED80 prove to be 95-98% as good as the Megrez". I really would like some opinions from those that use these scope as one minute I go towards the ED80 for rational reasons and cost (as I know it will do a great job from what I have seen of others work and what I have read) and then I swing to the WO Megrez and all the bells and whistles.
Any opinion would be most welcome
