Which one of three Newton?

Hi all. need some suggestions please.

I'm thinking of a new Newtonian. So I have looked at GSO and the likes. Below are 3 that I'm considering (prices all from Andrews):

GSO GS-630 SDX 8" f/5 200mm x 1000mm on SkyView 1 high grade EQ with tripod, cooling fan, crayford 10:1 focuser, 8 x 50 finderscope, GSO 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 25mm premium Plossl EPs, $799.

GSO GS-680 8" ASDX (adjustable super deluxe heavy-duty) 200mm x 1200mm, (presumably with 2" crayford 10:1, 2" to 1.25" adaptor, GSO 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 25mm 1.25" EPs with ? bonus SP32mm 2" EP), $699.

GSO GS-880 10" ASDX 250mm x 1250mm, (with the same options as the GS-680 above), $799.

And if recommending the dobs, would it be better to get one with 2 EPs only and save some money (maybe $100) and then buy a better EP later?

Many thanks.
