I love my transition lenses. It would drive me crazy to always have to switch between regular and sunglasses. After having had transitions for many years, my eyes changed ten years ago and I had to get new prescriptions. It tried clip-ons but didn't love them. The glasses felt heavy with the clip-ons on, and I found them a little annoying after having gotten spoiled by hands-free transitions.
About five years ago, I switched back to transitions and love them all over again. If they take longer to lighten, I don't notice it. To me, they get dark enough.
They are expensive-- until you consider that its a lot more expensive to buy prescription sunglasses in addition to indoor glasses. Especially by the time you have to have distance and close up transition and the light-weight lenses so they don't look like coke bottles.
