C-14 flat field and coma corrector?

Does anyone make a corrector for a C-14 which would give it a comparable flat and coma free field to the Meade RX400? I would assume it would screw onto the back of the OTA.

The closest thing to it is the Meade/Celestron f/5.3 reducer/corrector designed by Jim Riffle (though IMHO, it works best in C8s).

Remember, you are not dealing with coma, an artifact of parabolic mirrors, so a coma corrector--like a Paracor won't work.
