Just MHO but I have more fun imaging with the ed80 than I do with the big sct its strapped to so I think choice of guidescope is very important.

I have been kind of coming around to that position as well. There will be a bit of time between getting my guidescope and being able to afford a larger imaging refractor, so it would be useful to get something that is not too shabby on its own. I have been thinking about the WO Megrez 90 - great price at Andrews at the moment - great scope on its own, and can do double duty as guidescope later on.
Unfortunately, cheaper and sooner may win out....
