Oh for sure, AO works. Everything else being equal you get smaller FWHM's and about 25% higher stellar intensity profiles.

Performance of the AO-X I expect will be identical. Same software etc.

The STT based system (or STXL) is certainly easier to use due zero filter attenuation, but I expect the STX will easily eclipse the results I was getting from my earlier STL + AO-L
