I would like to buy an 80mm ED refractor but can't decide which brand, please help........

Do I go for Orion, Saxon, Skywatcher, Meade, Vixen, William Optics or TMB, any other brands???? Can't afford a TAK or TV, so they are out of the picture.

I would prefer a focal length of around 600mm BUT not essential. Will be using for mostly widefield astro photography and sometimes DSO's.

Any opinions will be much appreciated.

Cheers.
