The VX-2 uses the same coating on the lenses as the VX-3

Thanks Skylar.
It looks like the only differences that may affect me woyld be the twilight lenses and the light transmission difference. Im not sure if thats worth the money difference. The VX-2 is a lot easier on my wallet. Thanks for the help!
