No, you very probably won't ...

I have Rubinar 500, Rubinar 10_1000 and MTO1100-A.. All of them are very good in terms of coma and CA, however they are sometimes somewhat problematic in terms of astigmatism (main mirror is sometimes tightened too much and is a bit stressed/deformed, it needs to be relaxed).
Relaxation helped a great deal with 1000mm lenses, but not with Rubinar 500... so I will probably use it one day for guiding only.
