Hi fairway, I only just saw your question directed to me. The 100ed is similar quality to the 80ed - very good lens with more or less no false color in focus, an ok focuser, and the tube is quite a bit longer. If you're after a general purpose beginners scope an 8" dob will show you more and for a low cost. If you have more questions that don't get answered just be more pushy - even invade the equipment discussions forum
Cheers
Tony
