Yeah, less VLT, but you never need VLT that low, and the contrast definition you get isn't as good. As with everything there's a major element of personal preference, but for actual visual quality in a broad array of light conditions, the ones I mentioned are objectively the best lenses they make.
I myself have oakleys with Black Iridium and Hi-Yellow, as well as Smith I/OXs with Blackout, Red Photochrom, Green Sol-X and Blue Sensor Mirror, as well as some Anon Figments and Spy Soldiers with various lenses that were freebies. I used to get a bunch of free goggles, I've gone through a lot of lenses. Now I mostly just use the I/OX, although I've been asking for a set of M2s.
