Only if you want to barlow a 2" eyepiece. I dont think too many people do.
The thing is that a 2" barlow is a big thing to be swapping in and out, especially if swapping from a 1.25' ep and messing with adapters also.

I would also like to point you to a better barlow than the ones gso offer, which are mediocre. The Orion shorty-PLUS (not the shorty) is a good one in 1.25" format. The orion deluxe 2" is good, but I havent seen any reports on the 1.25" model.
