Black or clear silicone for TUSA Visualator?

[BORG]

I was looking for a new mask for the season. I have been looking at the TUSA Visualator in either a black silicone or clear. I am not a photographer and really don't intend to be one. I have heard that the black silicone will cut down on glare. I have also heard that it will be easier to focus on objects close up with the black. I do alot of my diving in a local lake where it can be murky.
I would like to be able to see my computer a little more clearly, I'm 53 and wear soft contacts. My computer is an AERIS A1 console.
I haven't dove a black mask since the early 80's when I was first certified.
Any recommendations on owners of this mask that maybe have used both as far as vision and comfort?

SEADIVE TruVu RayBlocker
I use SEADIVE TruVu RayBlocker http://www.seadiveinc.com/X-FreePS.htm

Mainly for the long surface swims. I do not know that the amber lense actually helps with being able to differentiate what I am hunting better though many claim it does. The optical clarity of the lense definitely is a plus compare to a normal mask lense for hunting. They are pricey. $75 frame type +$10 for purge and $115 for semiframeless. The fair price is probably more like $70 or less for frame/semiframeless when negotiating.

SEADIVE is also sold under another name - same product lower price.

I like the single lense masks because I do not like the part in between the 2 lens model blocking my view. Also they are very soft silicon with a feathered edge that works well with a mustache and are easy to clear and equilibrate.

As for TUSA masks. I like them very much for price, comfort and fit. I have a large face. I like the clear silicon, but they have yellowed over time. My choice of black skirt is for cosmetics only. The clear skirt has a more open feeling, but the extra light may be more distracting for some.

I don't use a visualator however I have masks in both black and clear skirts (same style masks). In low viz I prefer clear skirts in blue water diving I prefer black.

I have the visulator in black and love it. Haven't taken it to blue water, but it helps me focus on what I am looking at and not get distracted by shadows/flashes of light. That said, my wife has one in clear and she likes it better, so its all about what you want.
