i could seriously get less arc eye if i just left the helmet on the bench and looked away while i welded

Exactly why I don't trust ANY auto-darkening helmet. My eyesight is too valuable to trust to a piece of electonics that could fail at anytime! I'd much rather give the ol' nod of the head. Plus my conventional helmet was $45, a couple hundred less than a "good" auto-darkening. Leaves me more money for consumables, gloves, etc...
