The link shows two tables. If you scroll down, the second one shows the Sky Rover eyepieces. This is where I looked at those aberration parameters.

The 2nd table has only one entry under the name Sky Rover and it is a 25mm Premium Flat Field.

All the UFF and XWA eyepieces are at the top, combined with other brands.

There are many Sky Watcher eyepieces listed, but those are not the same.

There is a 3rd chart below that with information about zooms.

I was referring to these eyepieces that appear in the table...

That's not what I see when I go to the same link.
My browser automatically clears the cache when I exit the web, and my list shows the eyepieces listed as APM HDC (KUO) or APM UFF (KUO) with a list of "also known as" in the far right column.

Edit. I cleared all cookies and logged back in and now I see the Sky Rover entries. It's a mystery how they could be different than the same eyepieces with a different label on the outside. It might reveal a significant variability to manufacturing or a significant variability in Ernest's tests.

Wow... I really wish you could have seen it to get your opinion. I really appreciate your opinions on different forums... There are two tables... an agenda that only shows APM, different brands, zoom, etc. and if you keep going down there is another table that shows what I have put in the photograph... the table is enlarged...

Right.  Re-read my post.  I added an edit.

This is actually not good news.

What is certain is that all UFF or XWA eyepieces manufactured by KUO are of very good optical quality...
