Barlow choices?

Recommended Posts

At present I have 4 different Barlow lens, all primarily used for imaging.

1.25" - 2x Ultima, 3 x Televue, 4 x imagemate

2" - 2.5 x Williams Optics

The 1.25" barlows are used almost exclusively for lunar and planetary imaging, whilst the 2" barlow is used on the back of an 80ED for imaging with a DSLR. 

I want to slim down this selection and get fewer, higher quality barlows/telextenders.

My plan was to get two Televue Powermates,

1 x 1.25" 2.5x Powermate to replace the 2x and 3 x barlows (I already have this)

1 x 2" 2 x Powermate to replace the Williams Optics 2.5x barlow

I would look long term to get a 2" 4 x Powermate to replace the 4 x imagemate

Can anyone see a flaw in this plan or suggest an alternative.

Thanks
