Not really much use visually. Most large scopes aren't much chop visually.

A 31mm Nagler would have a field of 7 minutes of arc with a magnification of 645x with a 3mm exit pupil. Lowest useful magnification around 300X If you could build a 70mm eyepiece. Any eyepiece longer than than and the exit pupil exceeds 7mm.

The 1m f8 would be a little better at 22mins FOV at 250 power with the 31mm Nagler.
