The glass in the original 127mm scopes was Japanese HOYA FCD1 (Dense Fluor Crown) glass and were NEVER claimed to be ED glass as used in the SW 80EDs. Those manufactured now have chinese glass which was/is not hand figured as was the original triplette - hence the difference in quality and peoples experiences with these scopes.
