What other screen brands are you looking at? KatzEye? Any others?

katzEye doesn\'t seem to make screens for the 5D. Odd.
On my list:
SLRDaren Ec-L (+ split) $90 Dark, but not as bad as the Ee-s. \"Superior matte area vs the Ee-s.\"
Bill Maxwell\'s HI-LUX Enhanced Ee-S $75, & you send the Ee-s
Modified 1Ds screen.
Brightscreen\'s \"Proscreen.\" ~ $200 -very bright, but had to align, evidently.
Nikon FM3a K3 (split, microprism, grid) -good compromise, but very cluttered in the viewfinder.
-------------------------------
I really don\'t want a microprism / split, because then you have to focus in the center all the time.
If I have to do that, then I might as well shoot canon glass with AF engaged.
Part of why I ALWAYS shoot in MF (with any lens) is so I can focus on whatever I want, without having to then re-compose.
-But because I shoot mostly in dim light, the stock Ee-s is problematic.
It would be great if we could easily just swap focus screens as we do lenses. Why the heck are these plastic screens so bloody scratch-able?
