Low "Micro Contrast" -> High "Micro Contrast"
Problem solved! Just use the pop-slider.
Seriously though, OP, try to find out if what you mean is micro contrast or not. You mention it along with 3D-pop and multidemensionality which aren't easily discussed because not all of us perceive these things the same way. If it's all down to micro contrast, we know what we're discussing (although its existence has been denied by some folks here...). Then the question if lenses with many elements have less of it still stands. I suspect that there is a correlation with number of glass-air interfaces and maybe the amount of glass per se, but it's probably obscured and overridden by a much stronger relationship with the advance of coatings, lens design and manufacturing precision.
