compatibility with asi2400mc ?

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble trying to find out if this camera ( asi2400mc ) is compatible with my current scope ( Skywatcher Esprit 150 )

The specs on the Esprit 150 tell me the image circle is 40mm
If i use the .77 reducer, it tells me the image circle is 36mm

I am trying to find out if this full frame camera will be a good fit and compatible with the scope and mainly the image circles i mentioned.

I currently have the asi2600mc which is a good camera,
Looking at the site astronomy.tools, it is telling me my arc seconds per pixel
for the asi2600mc and this scope is 0.74 " / pixel which is on the border of oversampling.

With the asi2400mc, the result comes back as 1.17 " / pixel
It looks like a good match in theory, but just not real sure how to work out the image circle compatibility to be sure.

Any advice would be appreciated.
