How much difference is there in an older Rodenstock Rodegon 150mm enlarger lens, compaired to a newer Rodenstock, Schnider, or Nikor?

How much older? Last years or one from 2 decades ago or somewhere in between? One made since Rodenstock received ISO 9001 status or before? How do you know whoever answers has actually compared both old and new in a glass carrier equipped properly aligned enlarger at optimal magnifications and aperture

The older one might be in poor condition. Buyer beware.
