I ended up grabbing a 1.5" travel model because it came up on Astromart for a good price. It's a lot less chunky looking than the Moonlite and doesn't weigh too much - very nice to use and doesn't create balance issues.
After comparing views at the same magnification with/without a focal reducer, I still prefer the view without the reducer - the outer field is better with the reducer but on axis seems better without it - hard to define exactly what the difference is though. In any case, I'd have to dump the feathertouch to use the reducer and that's not going to happen
