i really dont care for 2"EP's, i got rid of mine- its true the rear cell on your 8e wont open fully to a 2" diagonal, i but i wouldnt worry about that, i got 2 older celestron 1.25 diagonals (stock) that are excellant performers, my newer stock 1.25 diagonal is a step down in quality, i got a feeling your diagonal will be of this type- i can recommend the astrotech 2" enchanced diagonal- mine was $79USD on sale- im not sure its made anymore but the 2" dielectric is $119USD
