Hi Folks
After a few years of appreciating the night sky with the trusty Skymaster 12x60, I have decided to take the plunge.
Keen to purchase the Skywatcher Az-GTI along with the Skywatcher Esprit 80ed, and wana get some 2-cents on this; whether its an okay decision to match these 2 options together.
I am primarily using this for Visual, though keeping the door open for Astrophotography in the near future.
Thanks:)
Skywatcher Az-GTI and Esprit 80ed

Thanks for the replies!
I looked around and it seems that the Esprit enjoys such rave reviews, and not so much for the Evostar. Thinking of getting a good Apo Ed Refractor once and for all and stick with it, thus more inclined to go with the Esprit.
If I just use the Esprit 80ED for Visual and therefore will not be attaching the additional equipment such as the camera, will it still be manageable for the AZGTI?
According to the paper specifications, it seems manageable as the mount can support a payload of 5kg and the tube weight of the 80ed is only 4kg at most, but would like to get an opinion on this:)
