The Seiko Surmount is the only lens to replace the Definity. Both have I M M E N S E Intermediates. Where they differ is that the Surmount has 5 times the distance width, but about 20% less reading. Fit the Surmount on center. I wear both and the prefer the Surmounts hands down.
the Supercede is great lens, but its also one of the hardest FF lens designs made, and it has almost zero prism thinning. Long time progressive wearers love this lens. If you don't like the Supercede, try adding .5 D Base Down prism OU, and dropping the seg 1-2mm over OC. This simulates prism thinning a little. It is hyper clear though and the corridor is enormous.
Another question, why dispense a grinder at all? Free-form lenses are now available that are less expensive than the Comfort if you shop around. I stopped dispensing all grinder progressives in 2005 and never looked back.
However, if you must have a grinder on your price list, I would suggest the Younger Image. I had fewer non-adapts than the Comfort in hyperopes when I used to dispense them.

So, I'm re-reading this thread and realize (sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake) that we've spent a great deal of time informing potential patients about all the alternatives that are CHEAPER than Comfort. Good thing or not???
Image would be a great lens. US company to boot if that's your thing. Shamir and Kodak/Signatek are Essilor as well, or 50% in Shamir's case and 100% in Kodak/Signetek. I thought you stated that you might want to get away from E, and although Signetek is an awesome lab, we dropped them as soon as the ink dried on the buyout deal. There are other labs that do true digital at GREAT prices. I have personally tried some private label freeforms with good success.
Good Luck!
