8mm Ethos only at 1.25" with Paracorr?

As many know I'm in a process o buying a TV set that includes the 8mm Ethos. My idea is to use all 4 EP's with the 2" focuser (2 are native2" - N31 + N20 - and2 are both - E13mm + E8mm). I'm also planning on buying the ParaCorr.

Now on the Paracorr chart for setting marks (http://www.televue.com/engine/page.asp?ID=56) the 8mm Ethos is on Mark 4 which is a column for 1.25" EP's. Does this mean I cannot set the E8mm with the 2" skirt on the ParaCorr? If so, is there any technique around this limitation?

Any info on this? Please.

The only thing better then a clear sky is a a clear soul.
