My rational side thinks you should get a 100 series. That's because it seems that the VAST majority of your time will be driving on decent roads.
My emotional side thinks you should get an 80. It drives well enough on the road, and when you're wheeling in Moab in your 100, you will always wonder what it would have been like in an 80.
Regardless, it sounds like you've already made up your mind with the LX450. I don't think you can go wrong with it--unless gas goes back to $4/gallon. At that point, buy yourself a used Miata and save the LX for Moab and such.
