It all comes done to funds and whether I sell my Tal. I have been following a thread on another site where they have been discussing changing the standard 1.25" focuser to a 2" one. It's not that easy and depends on the focuser that is used. Inwards focus is the problem as the baffle tube, just below where the focuser sits, is narrower then the 2" focuser drawtube meaning there's a limit as to how much the focuser can travel inwards. Bert's image train is another option but hopefully this alternative works.

Going by what's in this thread, I think the ED80 would be the best option. The lower price will allow for me to have some spare cash for a flattener. This will probably be my choice if I want a wide view imaging option.
