I like the sceond one better also. Yeah, I was really surprised to see the amount of curvature with the little scope! It's way more distorted than shooting through the 8" newt. at prime focus. Part of it might be image train sag, but still... Looks like I'll need to get a flattener after all. I've seen some positive tests with the MPCC and the 66's, it'd be great to use it on both the AT66 and 8" newt.!
