The 'Best' telescope and eyepieces

Hi,
After setting 'Best Planetary Refractor' 'Off-track' it seems to me that KISS is best.
Which means the fewest optical components? If we count a lens or corrector plate as equivalent to a good mirror with Dielectric coating:
Newtonian @ F8
Maksutov Newtonian @ F8
Doublet Refractor and Star Diagonal @ F15
Triplet Refractor and Star Diagonal @ F9
Maksutov and Star Diagonal @ F15
And of course of sufficient focal length to not need any further correction of the output focal surface.
Perhaps we should expect to pay more for some types of telescope to get the potential quality out of them?
Cheers. Andrew.
