Super ED and ED glass is different than lens coating. The Extra low Dispersion glass is actually the material used to make the lens. This glass is then multi-coated in the same way non-ED glass is treated.

Coatings have no effect on chromatic aberration (CA), they are used to reduce the reflection of the light at the glass/air boundary.

That said, ED and Super ED glass provide for increased contrast and make for better overall IQ, exactly as you said.
