I really like my William Optics "Megrez 80mm". It is very sharp, has
a 2" rotatable focuser, is extremely well baffled, and reasonably priced.
It is available from Anacortes <http://www.buytelescopes.com> for
$569.

I will be in town (with the scope) on the week of the 15th of January
if you want a chance to see one in the flesh.
