MP or not, get vendor representatives to send you as many of the same
objectives as possible and using a reference sample (e.g., 100 nm
fluorescent beads), determine the PSF and brightness (coating
effects). No two objectives from the same manufacturer, let alone
different ones, will be identical. In fact, if budget is a
significant consideration, ask for a better discount on the lens of
lesser quality as long as they meet your needs.
Good luck
