Adaptive Optics versus low PE mount

I'm trying to find out just how much adapive optics will correct for mount PE. I know that adaptive optics units like the AO-7 and AO-L will remove alot of the effect of periodic error, moreso than autoguiding can, but I'm wondering just how much. Specifically, I'm wanting to know of what sort of peak to peak PE I could expect on an LX200 on a wedge with an adaptive optics unit (such as the SBIG or starlight express one) in place, compared to autoguiding without AO.

Does anyone have any experience with this, or have you seen any good reviews/articles?
