half coated lens performance

The FC-60 and FC-100 are composed of uncoated flourite
doublet with the second lens coated (at the front). How
does this affect performance when used on very bright
object such as the moon and daytime use. My friend is
selling me the Takahashi FC-60 cheap but I wonder how
the uncoated flourite would degrade the view. Has anyone
done a side by side comparison between them or similar
scopes?
