I'm glad I got my pre-EDP and bought the 1.01x separately as I still have the 50.8 accessories included.
You can use something like this configuration with the Nagler which gives crazy wide views.

I know Claude from AEC sells the FSQ85-EDX so I am not entirely sure of the the field flattener status - presume it does not come with one and need to get one? Also it comes with a dual speed focuser by default? I know they do not come with finder scope or bracket. I have seen your posts on CloudyNights I think with the flattener and adapter.
Nice setup you have there AnakChan - I have a 31mm T5 Nagler as well so that is good to know it fits. I like crazy wide views especially if looking at ETA Carinae. I also have a T2 and T5 Nagler 20mm EPs, 2.5, 5, 9, 13mm and 26mm Naglers which I am sure should do well too. I have a Pentax HR 2.0 eyepiece I bought when I was in Japan in 2019 and it is a nice EP especially on the moon - the detail is amazing. I do have a Televue 40mm widefield I am not sure how that would go. i often wondered how goo the Pentax EPs are with Taks - I presume they do quite well.
