You might pick up a secondhand LXD75 or CG5 for that much from Ebay.

Not great mounts , but more than enough capacity for you with an ED80 and even it the CG5 isn't Goto and has no ST4 port for autoguiding it's still got dual axis drives so you can manually guide quite adequately.

Go for the 2" steel tubular tripod rather than those woeful timber or aluminium legs.
