but exactly what combination of smaller star images and/or greater light transmission and/or a smaller amount of scattered light, was actually the cause of this noticeably better performance by the 20mm typeII Nagler..... I do not know.

Hi Robert,
The Naglers have got a "coffee tone" colour to them as opposed to XW's for instance that are neutral.
Some people like the colour tone of the Naglers, while some find it annoying as being a false colour tone on stars. I wouldn't know, I don't own a Nagler, but I've read plenty on the "coffee tone" aspect of it.
