Hi Peter

For my 80ED, I used a 340mm Geoptik bar. This one, specifically

https://www.testar.com.au/collection...en-style-350mm

It allowed me to balance my rig easily on the EQ6-R
I used the standard rings.

For my Esprit 120, I've moved over to PrimaLuceLab for the rings and bar. The downside is that their rings really only with with their own stuff. They don't use standard hole distances, but it all works well together.

Here's the setup with pictures (losmandy style, not vixen)

base:

rings:

top bar:
https://www.testar.com.au/collection...ar-extra-large
guide scope mount:
https://www.testar.com.au/collection...l-clamp-medium

If you stick with a vixen style, then I'd recommend something in the same length as the Geoptik linked above.

Cheers
