Hey Gem,
I would also put my vote forward for the Orion, I have been using one for around 8 months and it is a pleasure to use.
As Paul has stated above, you do need a laptop for the orion, but i have found it really easy to set up and use, all the software I use is freeware.. and very simple to operate.
I use my orion with an ED80, and rarely have any difficulties finding guide stars.
Good luck in your decision..cant wait to see some of your results!!!
Andrew
