Of course, remember that the nights are short now anyway and a new scope
will bring on several weeks of cloudy weather :-)

Also -- you will need to provide mounting rings, diagonal, EPs, finder,
etc.

No. Face it, your getting 80mm when it should be at least 90. I have no
idea what the fluky mentality
with 80mm aperture is. 80 was good 15 years ago and I just don't understand
the fixation.
