New auto darkening helmet opinions wanted

I just got one of these because it goes lower than 9.

I have that one and quite like it, especially for the price. I do not use it terribly frequently, though, so cannot comment on heavy use.

Agreed. The blue flame one works good until it leaves you looking at an shielded arc

I started with the tribal red HF helmet which worked fine for the many years I used it. It even sat out in the rain once or twice and still worked, but I replaced it when it started to not work and the headband broke. Now I've got the back and green Titanium one which is much better, and has a nit as dark setting for grinding/cutting, and colors are more... color than just shades of green. A friend of mine uses Miller, but he welds a lot more than I do.
