Ah, now I can see that the 35 APO is much larger than the 50 APO and that 35 APO is very close to 35GM in size.
You are forgetting to factor in 1-stop + 2 linear motors. Of course there is weight and volume difference, but all things considered basically same size.
Charts show optically they are almost identical at similar apertures. I had the same impression when I was looking at Fred's comparison.
35APO has definitely less fringing, while 35GM shows some at close focus when there is a lot of contrast.
