Not sure which reducer you are referring to, but Skywatcher don't make a reducer for the Esprit range. They come with their field flattener included, but that is 1.0x so doesn't change the focal length.
I've owned my Esprit 100 for 5 years now and it's an excellent scope for the money. But you really need to consider the targets you will chase as the extra aperture and focal length would come in handy for some targets.
Of course, the FOV you get depends on the camera you use too...so that's another factor to think carefully about.
