~.6x focal reducers for ED80 and DSLR

Been doing a lot of reading about getting flat fields for my ED80 and DSLR, and from some brief/quick testing of the WO FF IV the other night, I'm fairly happy with that although will continue testing.

Now starting to think about fields of view, and wondering about a FR in the .6x ballpark. I know of the WO .8x but think I want something slightly wider. Bit concerned about vignetting, though.

Read Paul "[1ponders]" article about flattener comparisons again, but it was more about flattening than reducers.

I have the Meade Series 4000 6.3 FR, it came thrown in with the used C8 I bought. I know Paul included it in his test above, and that just proved it's more for SCTs than refractors.

So what options are there for my combo?
