Tak FSQ106 Vs LX200 GPS 10" Or 12"

I am confused. The Tak FSQ106 is a great set of optics, but at 4" the physics says ~1.2 arc second is its resolution limit. For the 12" it should be ~0.4 arc seconds. Granted, you need great seeing to really get below 1 arc second, but why is the Tak "sharper" when looking at Jupiter? Is it really contrast that makes the Tak image look better? Do the new UHT coatings on the Meade scopes improve the contrast for the SCT's? (I would assume better contrast comes along with the better transmission.)
