I'm quite happy with the SW ED80pro, gives very good clean images, almost, dare I say it, as good as my trusty Ol' Genesis - I did say almost!
Here in the UK some imagers have had problems with the lens spacers on the Equinox series - they seem to be wrapped onto the lens ( about 2-3mm) and give rise to three dark "wedges" on brighter stars - a bit like spider diffraction lines but in reverse. I've never seen this with the ED80pro.
Retro fit a good Crayford ( I use a 2" TS) and electronic focuser; it will certainly keep you out of trouble ( or out of pocket with all the extras!) for a while.
