Default SCTs and chromatic error on double stars

Hi, Roland's point that an SCTs spherical mirror induces chromatic error or
imbalance leads to some questions. Is that also true in Mak/Cassegrains?
Why doesn't the corrector plate "correct" for this in an SCT. In about 5
years I'll be looking to buy that "retirement scope" in the mountains in
south eastern Colorado. Is a D&G 20" classical cassegrain a good choice vs.
a 20" Starmaster for DSOs? Thanks to all in advance ...
