My recent experiences bear out remarks made in a number of previous threads. I went to InFocus at Slimbridge (knowlegable and helpful staff) with the idea of trying the Imagic 80 plus 20-60x HDF eyepiece.
Now this is a very nice combo except for slight purple fringeing of high contrast images at high magnification.
The same 20-60 eyepeice was set up in an ES80 GA .. problem solved. A beautiful bright image at all magnifications. Bugger - there goes another sixty quid!
As a (financial) compromise, I settled on the ES80 + 25x eyepiece and will be budgeting for the zoom later in the year.
Based on my (so far) limited use, this is one very nice 'scope.
