I see colors so much sharper out of my AR lenses than with uncoated spectacles. My brother and his giant slobbery dogs - well he decided against it last time.
As long as you don't work with construction dust or extreme heat, I always reccomend it. Some people honestly think it is just an "upsell" thankfully we don't have a lot of those people coming to my place. We also only use the best coatings possible, and often people remark how much better our AR is than what they had gotten before.
I only try to educate and reccomend, I rarely discount anything but will remove features of the reccomended lens to fit the budget of the client. I hate the hard sell, I spent years in corporate retail and I despise it.
PS. Slim I definitely mention the AR on expensive scopes often lol. Trivex is used on Apache Helicopter windshields, stuff like that goes over well with the right crowds.
Crown glass is nice too, but most people don't remember or don't know how heavy it can be. I will absolutely do it for people though.
