Well to get the full f3.3 the Meade FR uses an extension tube - I forget the length 15mm-33mm maybe? However the WO focuser is much longer so if you were to put the FR on first I think - even if you could get it to focus on the chip - would have a lot of distortion (IE the Reduction would be way less the 3.3). I'd bet that the way you did it first would be correct.

That said - no reason not to try and experiment - I have lots of FR's and Barlows, I stack, and place in different configurations all the time to see what works. No reason not to - it's fun!
