Hi Travis,
The problem is you will start imaging with the ED80 and find that you get trailing on longer exposures. This will make you unhappy enough to want to try your hand at guiding. So you will have to put another scope on the mount. Now this could be something as light as a 70mm achro, no problem. But you may wish to image through the Newt and guide through the ED80 then as Ezy says, you may have some problems.
So you should consider the EQ6.
I image through a TV85 80mm scope. This looks absolutely ridiculous on my EQ6 mount which is overkill for this size scope. At least though if i decide i want to put a C9.25 on it and also guide then that is possible.
You can always sell the EQ5, but you should consider where you want to be next year, not next month.
