Borg 76ED vs. Tak FS78 vs. Teleuve vs. Vixen 80ED

I need an expert opinion. I am considering the purchase of one of these scopes (OTA only). I'm wanting something that is well corrected and as color free as possible so I'm only considering scopes using ED glass.

1. Vixen ED 80S APO (New Model Just Being Released) $900
2. Tak FS-78 $1195
3. Tevue Pronto OTA $775
4. Borg 76ED OTA $810
5. Any other suggestions?

The scope will be a dual use instrument (high mag photography / birding and some astrophotography). It will be coupled to a Sony 5MP camera using the William Optics convertor lens (a convertor lens that allows you to connect a digital camera to a 2" focuser).

Any opinions considering performance / price / transportability. I'm leaning towards the Borg but thought to seek some professional advice from some owners of the above equip. I have a large scope so no aperature fever problems.

If you can find a Pentax 75SDHF, I think you'd like it. Optically it's second only to the FS-78 on your list (and for astrophotography it might actually offer more flexibility than the Tak), and it's smaller and lighter than everything except the Borg. It's a really nice, well-made scope, but I don't know if you can easily order a new one.

Gene I have the Borg 76ED and I love it! I own a 10"LX200 and a TAK-102FS, but the Borg gets used the most both for nature viewing and stargazing.
