For what it's worth, I have a Celestron 0.63x Reducer (mainly for use with my 200 mm Meade SCT), and it works fine on my 90 mm Mak. Note: I haven't done any optical-bench testing, but for visual use it seems as razor-sharp as the "naked" Mak, and it also seems to be spot-on for my so-far very limited astro-photography.
(I use a Mak-to-SCT thread coupler to be able to fix SCT accessories onto the little Mak's rear port, but I think the bigger Maks use a standard SCT thread, so a SCT Reducer should fit straight on without needing an adapter.)
