Opinions on the 1.7x extender on the BTX?
This would be for the 95mm.

Keep in mind, it decreases light transmission. So, whereas it'll increase power it's most viable in full daylight

Worth it is pretty subjective based on budget and use. I have one with btx and 95, with the right light and conditions you can see very good a long ways away. It's a pain to split the eye peice/objective to put it on and changes the balance point further back requiring more tension or a longer arca plate. When the light is low or heat waves are bad the image quality is reduced enough that it's better without it.

No, it’s not worth it in my opinion

Works well in the early mornings - otherwise the heat waves as the day heats up makes it pretty useless.
