I think you have the impression that 2 inch format eyepieces automatically come with longer eye relief. This isnt the case.

Examples of 1.25" eyepieces with long eye relief:
Pentax XL and XW, Vixen lanthanium, Televue radian, ED2 eyepieces, Synta LER.

Eyepieces in 2 inch format are usually longer focal length, which normally means longer eye relief but its not always the case.
The Meade UWA eyepieces have quite short eye relief.
