But you don't use them at full brightness - or at least I don't. The purpose of the frontlight is to allow you to read in poor lighting conditions; you simply don't see the frontlight at all in strong daylight.

The eink without light looked far better on the videos
My experience is that the light diffuser makes a small - and I mean a very, VERY small - difference to the screen clarity, but the benefits of the light hugely outweigh that.
