Has anyone made a comparison using a UHC 8" Meade SCT and a non UHC 8" SCT. Is it worth the extra money? Are the planets brighter with better contrast?

All reports that I've read have said the UHTC coatings are worth the extra.Here's a link to the Arkansas Sky Observatory report: http://www.arksky.org/cgi-bin/ib/ikonboard.cgi?s=3f81daf07622ffff;act=ST;f=3;t=79
