ED80 for optics, WO for fit and finish.
To bring the ED80 up to the WO spec you might consider changing the focuser assembly. A GSO 10:1 focuser upgrade will cost around $200, the WO unit $379.
From a astrophotography perspective, I would go with the ED80 and ideally the WO focuser.
The FPL53 glass at the ED80's focal length has excellent colour correction.
2 cents worth!
