No, the differences are marginal Greg. If presented with data of the same target from both instruments, you'd be hard pressed to distinguish the difference.

Saturation is the dominance of a hue in a colour and is often referred to as colour intensity. What ever you wish to call it, it has very little to do with the instrument, but post processing. You can make hues pure (saturated) or grayscale (desaturated) as you see fit. To make sure we are all clear on the differences between hue and saturation, I've attached the below chart (no idea where it come from as I found it in work course material!). As you move into the center of the wheel, the hue of a particular colour becomes less dominate. At the center, no hue dominates and is therefore considered fully desaturated. Saturation is the dimension running from the outer edge of the wheel (fully saturated) to the center (fully desaturated). It is possible to reach the same level saturation with ED glass through post processing (if at all needed).
