Ready to Splash ED's

Hi,

I am trying to decide a direction for scopes and would like some opinions. I am looking for a ED80 scope that I can use till my shoulder gets better (Can't left anything too much).

Anyway a selection below would be interested in opinions

> Black Diamond ED80
> Meade Series 5000 ED Apo Triplet 80mm
> HiOptic 80mm ED Triplet Apochromatic Refractor.
> Vixen ED80Sf 80mm Telescope
> Long Perng ED APO 80mm
> TS ED APO Refractor 80mm f/7
> Astro Professional ED APO 80/560mm

The main reason for selecting an ED80 is so it can be converted to a guide-scope later when I get my strength back in my arm to lift a 8" Newt on the EQ5.

Any other suggestions. I am interested in good field coverage for a lot of imaging subjects. So F6 or F7.5 opinions would be good too.

Thanks for looking.
