I have the HF equivalent....an inexpensive unit, no problems. Speaking as a guy who worked as a welder for a while, got a bad dose of retina burn once, grew up in his dad's welding shop, I would always say it is never a bad thing to get better vision protection. However, considering the limited welding I now do....why not save the money, with a few proviso's....namely, crank the sensitivity and speed up as high as possible, keep it as dark as you can and still see the work properly and if your eyes start getting tired or strained....STOP WELDING immediately.
