    802's from the 80's??

    Hi,
    Recently i have wanted to buy a pair of 802 series 80's or 802 series 3. First off which is better and what would each of them go for? What are the pros and cons of either one. Or any other info that would help. Or if you know where i can find a nice pair for a fair price?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike
