"If you took an Eclair ACL and modified it
for Super 16 and then used the same lenses that they used in the
aforementioned film, would you end up with basically the same final
product? Does the camera really make a difference or is it "all in the
lens"?"
------------------------
If you have the same lens on a ACL super-16 as on a Aaton XTR you will get
the same quality on the pictures. The movement on ACL is as steady as on
Aaton. The biggest difference is the noise level. ACL is not lower than 27
db and Aaton XTR can be as low  as 20-22 db. My recommendation: don´t spend
a lot of money on a old ACL, buy a Aaton. Even the old Aaton LTR 54 is more
silent, and you will have less problem recording sync sound, a better
viewfinder, more accessories, it´s also more easy to find spare parts and
service, etc.
