Smerch, the view through an 80mm refractor is disappointing, to say the least, when compared to an 8 inch dob. A dob is also much more comfortable for viewing, particularly at the zenith and will allow viewing of much fainter targets (galaxies etc). Unfortunately, there isn't a cheap solution and the 8 inch dob represents the best value for your dollars.
