I didn't notice a discussion of the enlarger lens for your 8x10. When I got mine it came with a 10" Kodak Ektanon. I wasn't happy with the sharpness so I switched to a 210mm Fax Nikkor. This sounds like a 5x7 lens, but it actually covers 8x10 well, and is much sharper than the Ektanon. I'm now using a 180mm Repromaster. It also covers 8x10, is sharp, and allows me to get much bigger enlargements on the baseboard with the ceiling height I have.
