the PZ test results shows that faster glass shows more colour frilling

Yes, but correcting bokeh fringing requires special glass and lenses, which is somewhat expensive. For a lens that costs quite a bit anyway that's less of an issue, though.
In the Nikon world, I consider both the 200/2 VR as well as the 300/2.8 as apochromatic (read: almost no bokeh fringing). From the samples I have seen, that seems to be the case for any of the large VR lenses.
I don't think it's any different with the large Canon primes. Especially not the latest generation. Which, honestly, seems to be quite an improvement over the previous generation, especially regarding weight (less so regarding price <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
