Are the glasses used anywhere near as good? The tolerances? Testing? Design finesse? I hope this is a new trend which starts happening with shoes and cars and pants and computers. Just take a decimal point off and some guy on the internet said its the same! Who cares? In the end they're just snap shots aren't they? Glossies. Jpegs. - some guy on the internet said its the same!
