Stanley!! Where have you been, and what does the Mask really symbolise in Eyes Wide Shut??
I see you don't want to spend more than £800- so you're in the UK? I would think you need more than 1 enlarger. I print from 35mm to 5x4, and find it's just much easier to have one machine (Fujimoto) set up for small formats and another (LPL) set up for 5x4. Otherwise, you can be discouraged from shooting different formats by having to change the set up on the enlarger. Suspect a machine big enough for 10x8 would be a PITA to print 35mm.
Ask around on
www.fadu.co.uk - it's UK based. Second hand darkroom supplies (link from FADU) have 10x8 enlargers, but not at your price. E-bay in the UK sometimes has them, but the problem is nobody wants to ship them. Also, do you know about
http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/forum/ Another good place to enquire. Seems like there are often people off-loading gear.
