I have SLV and SSW in my TEC turret. The SLV are a tad better than the LV (still have a few) and NLV series, I think the coatings are better, transmission is better and less ghosting etc on bright targets. The SSW are very very good too, with 82 degree field, but I actually prefer the smaller field of the SLV when looking at dim small objects.

Only thing to note is the SLV barrels are smooth polished and have no undercuts, and the screws in the turret aren't the most positive, so they can slip out.

My solution to this was to unscrew the barrels, and give them a satin finish with 900 wet & dry sandpaper (do this wet). This gave a much better grip and they wont slide out.
