100mm F/9 ED vs Celestron Omni XLT 102 ED F/8.8

I would like to find out if anyone knows the difference in optical performance of the Synta made 100 mm F/9 ED scopes (sold by Orion, Skywatcher, Celestron and Vixen) as compared to the Celestron OMNI XLT 102 ED F/8.8 (which I guess might have been also made by Synta as well) I believe both have the same 900 mm focal length.
Skywatcher still sells the 100 mm ED F/9 as the Skywatcher Pro model, while Orion, Celestron and Vixen no longer sell it. The Celestron OMNI XLT 102 ED F/8.8 is no longer sold by Celestron.
Regards.
