While the William Optics are great telescopes, it is hard to beat the Televue 85. I vote TV-85 all the way.

Only you can answer this question. The TV is a fine scope, but _IMHO_ it is NOT worth the extra 500 dollars (for the cheapest TV85 OTA). I had a chance to evaluate the WO extensively and found that, amongst other things, even _I_ could get great CCD shots with it.
