I haven't heard them, but the M80s look closer to the M-50s than the M-100 based the the charts at headphone.com , but the M50s still win. If you are using well encoded music, the M50s should sound more airy and detailed in the treble region.

How about detail? The one time I was able to demo the m50, I was less than blown away by the detail I was able to perceive.

Charts only tell part of the story. I remember the CVO of V-MODA saying he made a headphone prototype that measured almost perfectly flat and it sounded terrible. The graphs for the M-100 make it look a lot bassier than it actually sounds. Only your ears can truly tell in the end.

I'm like you. I don't know whether to buy the m50's, the ul

Ultrasone 780's, the custom one pros, or the vmoda lp2's. Someone please help. I listen to mainly rap music.

Replace the Ultrasone 780 with the 580. 
 
I have had all three at some point and have sold or returned each for different reasons. I too listen to rap music and was obviously led down the same path as you.
 
As for the sound quality, I still find myself wishing that I had kept the COPs. I found the VModa LPs a bit muddy and the Ultrasone S-Logic 'technology' to be a bit too tinny. If there could ever be too much separation it would be in those cans. 
 
So, of the three, the COPs are a no-brainer for sound but it was the heft of the set that doomed them for me.
