I know the Astrophysics 155TCC is a reducer and I think its a fairly flat field although I have not tested it in CCD Inspector. Usually they are 2 different accessories.

I suspect marketing BS especially from WO who had no qualms claiming fluorite lenses when they were ED glass (which has a lot of fluorite in it).
Tak, ASA, TeleVue, and other brands that I think you'd consider reputable also sell combined reducer/flatteners. Even AP's CCDT67 and 27TVPH both have a (slight) flattening effect.

WO also sells a non-reducing flattener for the FLT-132, the PFLAT-68.
