Celestron Oynx 80ED vs Orion 80ED vs SV80

Hi guys

This scope selection is doing my head, i know i know, im yet to buy one. I decided to go with the SW Equinox only to find the last one was sold!! still not keen on the 100ED Pro and the Black Diamond just too much. Was going with the Astro Tech Triplet FPL-53 but its gonna cost alot to get it from the US and im thinkin i can start smaller then if i enjoy it then go up. hope by then our dollar heads north too.

Anyways. What are your opinion on the Celestron Oynx 80ED? from what i read it seems like a very solid scope. does it have single or dual speed focuser?

Also how does it compare to the Orion 80ED or the Stellar view 80ED (there are a few one is called the 80/9)

Help would be appreciated as i really wanna a scope now!!!

Thanks
