Smith Sunglasses

I've been looking to finally upgrade from my old reliable Nautica CR-39 Polarized Sunglasses that I've had since late 2001. I've been looking at Smith Optics; The "Theory" model caught my attention because I like the smaller sized frames that don't take up half your face. My main questions are

How are Smith sunglasses in general. I would primarily use them for casual wear or driving, and use during contact sports such as football/baseball.

Are the Polarchromic/Photochromic lenses worth the extra $39 dollars?

I like my photochromic lenses. They darken on hazy days to keep the glare down and they change pretty fast when I go inside. Definately worth the investment.

I used to have a pair of Smith brand sunglasses worth around $150! (I got them cheaper) and then my boyfriend lost them. He cannot understand why he should fork over more money for another pair of Smith polarized glasses for me instead of buying the cheap sunglasses found anywhere. I try to answer him, but what should be my argument? I just think they're much better quality and worth paying more ONCE than buying numerous "cheap" glasses over my lifetime. Help! I need to convince him!

Polarized glass is designed an treated to block either horizontal or vertical light. This treatment process can only be completed on high quality lenses and the process itself makes the completed lenses more effective at blocking light and, also, more expensive.

The reason that you should try not to wear cheapie sunglasses -- with any consistancy -- is bacuase the lenses are of such poor quality that they can actual harm your eyesight (because your eyes are constantly having to adjust to sharpen your view through cheap plastic).
