AMEN! I am really grateful that I found this board JUST as I was in the process of ordering new glasses. I saved roughly $400 compared to the SAME glasses if I had gone ahead and gotten them from the store I was planning to buy from (Europtics. By the way, Europtics stinks - VERY high prices and super-duper high pressure selling.)
