If you want less magnification you could bridge the gap with an 18mm Radian (42 minutes true field, 83x).

Think you mean the 16 nagler there? From my maths the 32mm (47x) and 24 Pan (62.5x) offer the same FOV, around 1.1 degrees. The 16 nagler (93x) and 19 Pan (78x) are very close also. Both around 52 to 53' . I had thought of the Radians but the 18mm is only about 6' bigger than than the 11T6.
From the advice so far it seems the Pans are the way to go. Tick most of my boxes which are 1.25" , light, & fairly good eye relief. They also get great reports and are highly recommended in the Backyard Astronomers Guide.
