Default Good 80 or 90 mm Refractor for Imaging?

Hi,
I currently have a Meade LX-90, but even with the 3.3 focal reducer,
the focal length is too much to give me wide fields of view - so I am
looking for a decent (but inexpensive) wide-filed fast scope to do my
imaging. I would like to mount the scope to the LX-90, and have it
track that way. Is the Apogee 80 or 90 mm, or the Orion Short Tube 80
well suited for this? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
