DALI TX opto should have higher CTR?

Hello,
Figure 5, page 3, of the following DALI application note (AN1465) shows optos being used to isolate both TX and RX DALI signals….

Though surely, the TX opto should be a TCLT1009 (CTR of TCLT1009 = 300%) and not a TCLT1000 (CTR of TCLT1000 = 50%)?

Also, surely the RX opto should be a TCLT1000, which it indeed is.

The reason that the RX opto should be a TCLT1000 is because it has a lower capacitance seen at its emitter pin which means the rise time of the emitter can be quicker. Do you agree?

Don't look like it would matter the TCLT1000 would work fine for both as shown.
