G'day PCH
Not sure if the ETX has 2" EP capability. If it hasn't then it's not a good idea to limit the LB to 1.25" EPs. The 2" format is where they shine.
Big Naglers like the 31 mm are brutes. Not for nothing are the called "hand grenades". You could get a 35 mm Pano and a good way to a Paracorr for the cost of the 31 Nagler. Not only does the Paracorr clean up the edge but it sharpens the whole FOV.
If there are no issues of exit pupil (mostly age related) then the Panoptics will give first class views and save money. Yes, there will always be the discussion of better contrast with the Naglers but there won't be any suggestion that the Panos gives crap views.
Hope this helps.
Mark.
