I may be wrong, but just trying to give you a heads up before you race out and burn money on a 2" diagonal!

Thanks John,
So if I were to take the 31mm Nagler out of the picture, what would be a good EP to purchase in addition to the 3 others I already have + a Barlow?
I used Tele Vue's calculator to find suitable EPs, and have had my eye on the Ethos 13mm - but it's quite expensive. If I'm going to invest in such an excy EP, I want to make sure it's appropriate for what I'm going to use it for.
I should also mention that although I'm going to be using these EPs with the SCT, I'm making more of an investment for the future so that I can use these same EPs with other scopes - hence why I'm eyeing (pun intended) the good quality ones.
