It's much flatter and the secondary as a lower magnification too.

It's not a glass plate, its a set of lenses designed to project a flat field. Also the corector plate is a different design, hence for hyperstar to work a spacing ring is required to move further away from the primary mirror. In short they are different to the ACF.
