Welcome to the list! I've tried both the Beattie Intenscreen and the
Brightscreen in my R4s (matte with grid models) and I much prefer the
Brightscreen. Even illumination and ease of focussing were the primary
differences, the Intenscreen showed a bright 'hot spot' in the center with
dramatic fall-off toward the edges, and was difficult to focus. The
Brightscreen wasn't as bright as the Intenscreen's hot spot but it was much
more even across the entire screen and easier to focus overall.
