Jumping in, new here.

Hi,
Not new to astronomy, I've been a keen observer for some time (binoc, tasco 4") and have a 2/3's finished 13.1" EQ mount DOB I've not had time to finish.

Just won this second hand scope from the manufacturer, WO FLT-132
http://tinyurl.com/y9uwjl7 for AUD$2700. Have done some research and found this scope has good reviews.
My questions are
  1. What range of EP's would be a good start for this scope and whats the diffrence between 1.25" to 2" besides cost? I wear glasses so is the eye relief better on the 2"?
  2. Is an NEQ5 or NEQ6 goto the mount for this or are there others? I want to do AP with my Nikon D700.
TIA
Steve
