They're pretty close to identical, from a wearer's perspective. Both are neutral tint with 9% light transmission. The ice have a slightly bluer look through them than BIP but they're very close. In my daily wear I consider them interchangeable, it just depends what look I'm going for.
 
OK, I got home late and barely caught the remaining sun, and I'm not much of a photographer, but here goes...

BIP on top, ice ir polar on bottom. It does look like the BIP are a little darker:

But these two pics were taken through the lenses, full coverage lenses right up to the camera. Can you tell the difference?

The bip does actually looks a bit darker, although both should be letting 9% of light trough the lens.big thanks to kronin 323 for these pics!!!
