I'm trying to decide what lens to get for macro and have been following the other thread. I don't want to get that completely off topic so I will pose the questions here.
From prior work with a super zoom camera I have few different close up lenses. Canon 250D (52mm) and both Nikon 3T & 4T (52mm). I also like some of the images at pretty high magnification (see shots at bottom).
My 50mm f1.8 lens has 52mm threads so I put the Canon lens on and took this shot. No cropping done. (I'm shooting on an angle so the OOF areas make sense)

Without the close up lens this is the full frame at the closest distance I could get focus.

If I had a macro lens like the 60mm and was at 1:1 and then added a close up lens I assume I still magnify even further. Correct? Any big downsides to working this way?
Assuming the answer above is I get more magnification and the effect is not undesirable then the next question.....The 60 macro lens has a 62mm thread but a small front element. Do you think using step down ring to get to 52mm would cause a vignetting problem? The front element looks significantly smaller than 52mm.

Here are a couple from last year with a long zoom and close up lens:
