I don't see any difference except 1. The scopes, 2. Microscope/illumination device 3. Paint color. 4. Number of filters/shades (some have less than the usual 3+4). (SNO-T is a completely different sextant modeled on Freiberger, rather than C. Plath). Some time ago I had a correspondence with Jared, probably off-the-list, on what can "Tropic resistance" possibly mean. We came to the conclusion that this can be only related to the composition of the glowing paint in the illuminating microscope:-) But there could be more about "tropic resistance".
