If you were going to use it for astrophotography the extra 100 bux would have been well spent on the ED80 the plain 80mm shorty is just for use as a guide scope from what Ive heard. However the ED version gets very good reviews for its price to optics ratio I know I have more fun imaging with the little ed80 than I do with the meade 10"
just my humble opinion of course.
