I like the 1080 but she is a bit under powered for her size. My brothers Super 90 rated at 68 HP would consistently give dads 1080 a run for the money. If you get one put a turbo on it and kick it up to about 90 HP don't open the pump up to much because the final drive gears can't handle much more power than that. Also don't plan on carrying large loads on the 3 point. To heavy of a load also will cause the final drive housings to wear out prematurely. Look at the rear axle's on the one you want to purchase, if they are leaking fluid deduct about $1500 from the purchase price. Also if you are looking to put a loader on it hold out for a 1085 as the hyd. control valves have the float position (BIG + point). Plus all the controls are in a better position for the operator.
Look in the Midwest for your best deals you can find them for as little as $3,000 but you have to look. For a 1085 add a grand.
