CHEAP AR is absolute garbage and you might as well go ahead and not get it at all.
So this is truly a go top of the line or don't get it at all.
I'm a rep so I go to private offices as well as retail. Stay away from retail joints like lenscrafters, America's Best Etc. Find a good private practice that has high end stuff.
If you treat them good they should last years and the extra $$ you spend will go much further.
If you just want basic without AR it really does not matter where you go ( just don't go to America's Best (worst) )
Hope this helps.

you are correct. the best pair ive seen had the coating inside the lens layers.
