I agree.. I'm not a mad scientist either. I generally learn from others experiences. I don't want to mess up a $400 pair!

If you don't mind looking through Ruby then I would choose those lenses. The way I see it the Ruby will give you a better red in the lens. The +red will give a purple/blue lens.

Got the Oakley Penny Yesterday
I'm fairly satisfied with it.

The blasted finish was great 10/10
Rubbers were aftermarket Linegear (Black) and Red (Walleva) 7/10 because they're not OEM.
Lenses were by Walleva 8/10 closer inspection last night there was a sticky rubber placed inside the frame so that the lenses wont wiggle. I removed them because they were making the lenses sticky and dirty. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo of it.

However that made the lenses wiggle like crazy when you're cleaning it

So I ended up fixing it it today. I learned this fix from Oakley Warranty when I got my first Juliet serviced because the lenses were wiggling a week after i purchased them. Believe it or not these were out of the box fresh and new Juliet's.

They inserted a small piece of plastic fishing line inside the lens.
