In my view, well corrected doublets hit the sweet spot for visual observing. As you say, they are lighter, cool down quickly and are generally cheaper than an equivalent quality triplet. A well corrected doublet will control visible chromatic aberrations in all but the most extreme situations. In those situations, I have found the aberrations to be at the margin and not impacting on the quality of the image.
