piggybacking ED80 with ST80 autoguider

Hi all,
I am interested in hearing from people's experience of piggybacking an Orion ST80 autoguider on their ED80. I am currently attempting to set this up as shown on this photo of the setup
Looking at his comments section, Ray mentioned that he used the Vixen Doveplate adapter from ADM to connect the ED80 with the ST80 guidescope.
The ED80 I have comes with standard Vixen dovetail, so it can be fitted straight on to the EQ6 mount. So I wont be needing the bottom adatpers.

Has anyone has a similar or alternative set up?
Thanks,
Bo
