I'd like to point this interesting test, comparing six 210mm glasses:

First we see is that LF delivers an insane amount of resolving power...
So the interesting test would be comparing head to head 6 photographers
Of course late models are technically better, and IMHO this can make a difference in some situations, but not always.
For example, I'd like to point that a multicoated Super-Symmar XL-150 can deliver way, way more flare than the old single coated Symmar 150 convertible.
This is because the old convertible has an small 210mm image circle, while the Super-Symmar delivers a 386mm circle so it is illuminating all the bellows inside, thus generating a lot of reflections ending in the film. If using a front hud then the thing is different, but what I'm learning is that there is a lot to learn...
What is also interesting is comparing formats:
