Hi Matt, I reckon the 4x powermate might be a good single powermate compromise for you (albeit an expensive one at $470). If would give you handy f20 for the F5 and a still usable for imaging f40 with the 9.25. The 4x is next on my shopping list so can't tell you how it performs with 1.25 eyepieces, though can't see any reason why it wouldn't be fine. It would be a big hunk of glass on your focusser though so balancing might be an issue.

cheers,
