SCTs don't need to have a small FOV. I regularly use mine with the f/6.3 FR in when doing visual work, and it's terrific (it also flattens the field). It stays there for all DSO observation and only comes out for planetary.
At f/6.3, my 8SE has a FOV of 1.2 degrees with my 1.25" Panoptic 24, and well over 1 degree with my Nagler 16. Not too bad! The higher mag also gives great contrast, especially under light pollution.
