Are GSO 2" Barlows any good?

Hi All, this is a really informative website, and has greatly helped our family with developing our amateur astronomy addiction!

We now have a 12" GoTo collapsible Dob, and whole bunch of 1.25" EP's which we still use with our 130mm SW (when we are are travelling), however we now have also added a couple of 2" EP's (38mm SWA & 26mm SWA with allegedly 70deg FOV) either way the FOV is great.

Question: We have seen positive comments about the GSO 2" ED Barlow's and we are considering purchasing one, however how will that impact on the FOV for our 2" SWA EP's?

We have also seen comments about the GSO 2" ED Barlows having a removable section which actually screws onto the EP to provide 1.5X? is this correct? and if so, how would that impact the FOV?

Many thanks for any thoughts,

Steve

ps: Andrews seems to have the GSO 2" ED barlows?
