I held the 600, the 300, & the 505 in the same very bright store lights in the same position and found the 600 to have less glare then the 300 and the 505. What I saw on the 600 was like looking at the lights. But on the 400 and 505, I saw bright spots. As far as reading goes, I would able to read with the 600 better than the 300 and 505 with the light bearing right on the screen.

While you may get more reflectivity from the 600, you get more glare from the 300 and 505.
