35mm Panoptic and 2X Powermate suggestions

Hi all!

I'm in the process of upgrading my EP's and would like to get rid of my Orion 17mm and 32 mm Plossl's, as well as my Orion Shorty Barlow. I'm thinking of replacing this equipment with a 2" 2X TV Powermate and a 35mm Panoptic.

Would the "barlowed" Panoptic effectively replace my 17mm? Or would you suggest bypassing the powermate now and getting a 17mm or 16mm Nagler?

My current EP's (in addition to the ones listed above) are as follows:
20mm Vixen Lan
7.5mm Vixen Lan
5mm UO Ortho

I currently have an FS-102 and will be ordering a WO 2" diag.

Thanks!
JOE
