I have the ST80 and similar spec binos, I don't recall being able to see the planets as anything more than globes slightly bigger than the stars through the binos, moons of Jupiter yes but not Saturn's moons.

With the St80, the focuser is a simple rack and pinion one, Bintel mainly sell it as a guidescope for the Orion guide camera, so I think don't include eye pieces, so you might have to include a $100 for a basic eye piece. Other than that its a nice little scope.
