Not sure where you are referring to in the review. What I did say in the review where I characterized "better" was this: "
Comparing the off-axis performance of the Morpheus to the Pentax XWs, the Morpheus performed as well in all corresponding focal lengths using the XT10 with Paracorr, the SCT, and the refractors, except for the 14mm focal length where the Morpheus did a better job than the XW"
My own personal opinion as to "better" in the Morpheus vs XW is that for all but the 4.5mm which has that pesky EOFB, overall the optical performance of the Morpheus is on-par to slightly better than what I see in my XWs. And the larger AFOV is more engaging. Build feels a little more refined/traditional on the XWs though. In the end though, "better" is always a personal choice.
