If I didn't have a 2" diagonal it would be better, money allowing (!!??) to buy the 2" flip and use it as a diagonal and camera attachment. It obviously needs a lot more back focus and would probably be better suited to the Cannon 350D DSLR.
Having said that, its only an aid and I find the 1 1/4" version works well with all my other cameras ie Webcam, spectroscope and Starlight MX7c.
Conclusion: If I had the money I'd sell the 2" Meade SC diagonal and buy the #647.
Remember it also allows you to set up the scope and gives the option of using two eyepieces one at each focus... great for the kids you can "monitor" the image then flip to a different mag etc for them.
