I’ve on,y ever used the auto darkening style so I can’t compare. However I do love it for all the reasons stated above. Sometimes after sitting in the drawer for a long time there is a delay for darkening. I just know to keep my eyes closed for a second then it’s fine.
I was also given one of the older style ones but have only ever used it when someone else wanted to see some welding. I got bored one day so painted it up. My wife (gf at the time) tried it out. She’s a keeper and good sport for a laugh
