It's something like $10 for the relensing fee - not really enough to
care about.

These frames are known to be comfortable - I can put them on and know
for certain that I like wearing them for hours on end.  I don't get
that with a new frame.  In this case, I'd say that used (by me) is
worth more money than new.  Style (or outdatedness, if that's a word)
doesn't matter since they're never going to leave my desk.

I should have been clear about what I thought the experiment was.  I'm
convinced there will be a slight improvement in my vision, I'm just
not convinced it's enough that I'm going to want to bother with
switching glasses between the computer and everything else.  Using an
old pair of my own frames eliminates a big variable - I know they're
comfortable over any period of time that matters.

What kind of lenses?

I'm perfectly prepared to believe that the online retailers can
produce good lenses, I'm more interested in the quality distinctions
(if any) between the kinds of lenses offered.

Thanks for responding,
