Generally I would stick with the 1.25 pieces for higher power viewing with your C11. Say 25mm and under, and if you want a low power wide field go up to a 2 inch piece. I use a 13 mm Nagler with my 12 inch 200R on planets ,small galaxies or planetaries as you get a nice 8o degree view and good power. For lower power viewing of larger objects such as Eta or orion nebs or moon you can't beat the 35mm Panoptic 2 inch with these long focal length scopes. So stick with you 1.25 pieces and invest with 1 or 2 at most 35mm or higher 2 inch eyepieces to get wide field low power views and stick with the 1.25 pieces say 26mm or less for higher powers.
