Yes you will.

Choke it down as close to the Desktop as you can, and if you do need 2.5" (easier to keep away from cords and wiring harness) go clear, as it's lots easier to see obstructions. When I first started I tried both a 750cfm Delta(4" choked down) and a rinky-dink almost dead Craftsman shopvac(probably 100cfm) and the shopvac worked as well or better than the Delta DC. Desktop seems to like high vac/low volume more than versa-visa---don't forget grounding DC now that winters coming.

When you get your desktop, you can make your own reducer, brother!!! :)
