APO correction in the Blue

I was wondering the following, I have heard that one views in the Red and Green part of the spectrum better than in the Blue. It has been said that the AP's APO's are fully corrected in the Red and Green but off some in the Blue. Thus making a RGB image combination more difficult since the stars in the Blue channel will be larger looking bloated compared to the others.
I have also heard that this is not the case with the AP 10" Mak, but that is one scope at 20K on the secondary market I can not afford.

So my questions are
1) Does anyone know if this is true?
2) If it is true, will the "New" line of AP scopes correct this situation? and if so are the scopes going to be faster? as fast? or slower than the ones being produced now?
3) Would it be best to wait and hope and pray that AP makes another Mak instead of getting an APO when my name comes up?

I ask this since I figure after waiting since 2000 for a scope that it is close and want to make the right choice.
Thank you for any information

First question: Compared to the other whats?

Second question: Have you actually ever done RGB imaging? What do you mean by the blue being off? Don't you realize that even if the blue colors have a slightly different focus, that when you do RGB, you always focus each color for smallest spot diameter?

Thirdly, the blue focus on the EDF lenses is the same as the red focus. It is the green that's slightly different. The reason for that is that the lens design was chosen to have 3 color crossings very far apart so that both the violet colors at 400 nm and the infrared colors out to 1000 nm will have the same focal points.

Fourthl: In order to have essentially zero color visually, you will have to sacrifice the deep IR at 1000 nm. Our new triplet lens does that - no color visually but the deep IR at 1000nm will need to be filtered out for the best Luminance image. RGB will not be affected, just like the present EDF design.

Would you like to see the two color curves?
