First time I reed that!
I don't share that point of view, specially with the APO extender 2X.
The only wweakness of the Apo 180/3,4 is the minimum focusing of 2,5m.

I hope that we will see soon a 180 2,8 /APO
who will accept the APO Extender 1,4X and focuse to 1,1m.

BTW I've sell both my 180/2,8 (2d) and 180/3,4 and use
a new 80-200/4 ROM  and I'm very happy with it.
