5x Powermate Vignetting?

I have a set of recent TV plossls and want more magnification. I am considering the 5x Powermate, the 2.5x Powermate, and the 3-6mm TV zoom. Ignoring cost and number element considerations, I'm merely wondering if the 5x Powermate can be used with the all the TV plossls without vignetting. If so, then it appears that I'll be able to add effective FLs of 6.4mm, 5mm, 4mm, 3mm, 2.2mm, and 1.6mm. That would be great, though I'll probably never use 2.2 or 1.6.

Otherwise, the other options are worth considering. What do you recommend?

Thanks.
