Vancouver Island Birder

Ha, you're not done with me bugging you guys just yet!!
I want a very bright scope which allows all available light into the eyepiece. Therefore, from months of reading, have the mind that the 82ED is better than the 60ED for light gathering and resolution. The weather on Vancouver Island is like many places where although there are wonderful sunny days the fall and winter months are filled with mostly overcast sky and low light settings. However, like most people, I would opt for a lighter model if it is quite close to the 82. I know I should look through both of these myself but none of the stores here carry these scopes. I will have to order over the internet and go with your advice.
So there it is team. Get the 82ED because it is worth the weight (the reasons I would love to hear about) ....or get the 60ED. When you get a second, let me know what you think.
Always appreciate your help.
