Yeah, I'm only talking about the quality of the frames. WP has a pretty slick buying experience, I'll give them that. Shuron needs to get with 21st century UX. But...their frames are objectively higher quality than WP.

That slick buying experience is pretty helpful.

After years of paying $200+ for glasses, I decided to go with WP. It was a little nerve wracking- but having the home try on (and the option of a store try on) helped.

Sure, maybe the glasses aren't as nice as the ones I had. But they are $100 cheaper. And that's a decent chuck of change.

Ah yeah. That makes sense. I primarily wear contacts, so I haven't really had a problem with durability. The buying experience and cost were more important to me.
