If you where going to buy an EQ6 with the ed80 your probably better off with just the EQ6 and use your 8" reflector, I guessing it's a Dob.
I have a 10" dob and an eq6 pro all I do is remove the ota from the dob mount and put it in the 10" tube rings and thats it, admittedly you will have to 2 big bits on the side of your tube (where the handles screw in and it sits in the dob mount) this makes the tube unable to rotate all the way around but I've never really had too much of a problem with this, only the odd balance issue but I seemed to have got it right now.
plus later on you can always get the ed 80 as a guide scope.
