Yes.  The framelines become a little dimmer.  I've found that in very dim
situations, it does make it a little harder to see the split image.  But not
that much harder.  Not compared to the pain of trying to focus when it's
flaring.  I've had mine for a few weeks/months now.

This is the guy:

Took something like 5 business days from sending my PayPal payment 'til I
received the envelope in my mail.  From Switzerland to the middle of the
U.S.  I was pleasantly surprised.

I bought two.  So I'm prepared if the M8 goes back to flaring.  :)
