If you have, Was it worth the money?

How do they compare with the Miller Digital Elite?

I knew a guy who had one of those. I only used it a little, but it seemd pretty good. He even had a little computer program with it that let him change the shade color. white, pink green blue, whatever the day felt like I guess. like a mood ring, hehe. Too much of a toy for me for 350 dollers.

But I think the lenses were damn expensive and he had to order them. I prefer ease of accesiblity when it comes to upkeep and repair. Weigh your options, but it was pretty damn cool. Maybe a good tig helmet.
