If you get a 2" eyepiece don't skimp on the diagonal.
The OTA in the SkyProdigy 130, is a Newt, so no need for a diagonal.
The SkyProdigy 70 is a refractor, and the SkyProdigy 90 is a Mak-Cass, so those would be the ones to get a quality diagonal for.
Having a proper look at pics of the 130, it does look to have a 2inch eyepiece mount.
