IMHO, I would choose the i-glasses. The image is very sharp and the unit
is very light weight and can be used in see-through with the removeable
shield. It also has a very nice head tracker with it. 

I also just recently saw the new Sony Glasstron. Not sure if it is
available in Australia yet, but it has a comparable field of view of
the i-glasses, with *adjustable* see-through transmission, and a
depixelation filter which improves the appearance of the 180K LCDs
(same as i-glasses).  I would do a comparison of those two, if
possible.
