Definitely the FR Mick.

The III doesn't work with the standard ED80 Clones. You need the Flat II. There's a report on trialling FR with the ED80s in the Equipment reviews on the II and I've confirmed with Kris (WO) that the III is not suitable for the ED80 clones. I can't comment on the IV though. It is supposed to work but the II does a pretty good job. I use it as a standard part of the ED80 imaging train now.

I agree. The x0.8 WO II is a good match to the Orion ED80. This pic is cropped at the edges, but gives the idea.
