So 71.5mm - 50.292mm = 21.208mm.

For a FLT110 it's 73.5, so 23.208mm spacer.

If WO has recommended distances it would be wise to use their recommendation as a starting point.
Agreed. My recommendation was based on the former stated back focus of 55mm. Starting with the flattener/reducer back focus distance and then subtracting the QSI back focus distance will get you spot on for what adapter length you need.
