I have used both the 60i and the 80i a fair amount and prefer the L -Cush pads over the stock pads, but I find the L-Cush pads comfortable and it seems many don't. I think it's well worth the investment to purchase the L-Cush for either model and it's a nice feature of Grado phones that pads are so easily interchangeable and make a significant difference.
In terms of sound quality, the 60i is perhaps a little more forgiving with less than ideal sources. The 80i is more lively and forward in presentation and less forgiving of poor sources. While neither is a bass monster, they both have very tight and fast bass with the 80i having more depth and quantity.
I think you really can't go wrong with either model but if the budget allows, I'd recommend the 80i.
