Re: Sunshine Radian 80
I would save $100 and just get a Radian65. It's the exact same seat with a different label. I just got mine and installed it last night. I love it. I sat my 67lb 10yo in it and she still fits. My 8yo has broad shoulders, otherwise he could still use it. I haven't gone anywhere yet so my 2yo hasn't sat in it other than in the house, but he liked it then.
It is tricky to install and doesn't fit every vehicle. I got a nice tight fit with a seatbelt in my 2001 villager (passenger side rear bench). I don't think I would like it rear facing, if it's warm this weekend, I may try it out. I'd also like to try it in dh's Durango just to see how it fits.

The harness heights are the same in both, so if your dc isn't on the high end of the weight charts, then just go with the radian65. The seat installs well in most cars when you use LATCH, however most cars you can't use latch past 40 or 48lbs (depending on your car,) so you'll need to make sure you can get a tight install with just the seatbelt. Some cars it's pretty easy, others it's near impossible. So you'll need to try it in your car before buying it to make sure you can get a tight install with the seatbelt.

Re: Sunshine Radian 80
Try before you buy is always best. If you can't, make sure you buy from a place that has a good return policy.
My friend just bought the radian65 for her 4 y/o. Her almost 8 y/o also fits it. If you're dd is heavy then I'd go with the R80, if not, then the R65 should be plenty.
