Bought a new 8" EdgeHD and trying to decide on reducers. 

Seems a lot of people use the Celestron brand 0.7x reducer, but I've heard some have trouble with image quality. 

I know the Starizona 0.63x is an option as well, and looks like the newest version is f/7.1, so it's basically the same end result?

From reading around. It sounds like the Starizona is the better option?

The Starizona .63 is not an option. It is not compatable with the EdgeHD series, as the Edge HD is natively corrected, and simply requires a specific type of reducer that has no field correcting characteristics. The Optec Lepus HD is a good alternative, it's F/6.2, no clue about the performance of that one though personally.

I don't even use a reducer, the scope is extremely sharp without it.
