Is this barlow good?

Hello:

I haven't bought this one yet, but wondered about it:

the Orion HighLight 2" 3x 5-Element Barlow Lens.

It says it's 2", but the clear aperture on it is only about 26mm (so around and inch)... plus with 5 elements it might not be good for fainter things I'm wondering.

And wondered if it would be good for Jupiter. I've only got one (good) 1.25" barlow, 2x. And maybe with Jupiter so bright I could have money and buy a better 1.25" (barlow) with a time or two higher power.

I appreciate all the advice.
Thanks
