I also found that the Takahashi focuser felt a bit overloaded with a 21mm Ethos and even a 17mm Nagler. It worked ok but it was much smoother with lighter eyepieces such as a 27mm Panoptic and a 40mm GSO reverse kellner.
I think I will mostly stick with 1.25" eyepieces for the FC76. There may be occasions when it will be handy to have the 2" eyepiece option but I think the focuser is generally much happier with lighter loads.

I use the Pentax XF8.5 most often with the FC76DC, gives 67x which is nice in this scope. I will also be using the Tak LE24 for 24x and if the TV 40 Plössl is bound to stay with me that will be a finder eyepiece at 14x.
I doubt I will bother attaching the 6x30 finder at all.
