Hi Mat,
A question that will no doubt get some varied responses.
Side by side comparison of 10inch SC & ACF (previously known as R)optics visually on Jupiter clearly showed a huge difference, same eyepiece and both scopes were very well collimated.
This was done a few years ago at Qld Astrofest and several people took part in an A/B test, it was that obvious.
After imaging many, many thousands of galaxies with both standard LX200 SC optics until 2008 and ACF optics since again a show a very obvious marked improvement in image quality.
The ACF optics outperform the standard SC optics full stop.
