Similar here. I have an Orion 1.25" Flip Mirror and Orion 12.5mm illuminated reticle. I get almost the same FOV in both the guide and imaging cameras.

I'm waiting for the clouds to clear so I can use my new 2" flip in my imaging train. I've only had it about 4 months and I'm yet to get the opportunity.
I have a Meade #647 2" Flip Mirror but have a lot of problems getting focus with it on the back of the Moonlite.
