Like I said, I don't think it matters in real life use cases. Eink without extra light layer or capacitive touch layer has glare if you angle it right against a very bright light (e.g. the first gen Kindle Touch) The advantages over eink is the color, refresh rate and higher reflectivity. Also the penalty of eink is very high energy consumption while refreshing the image, so basically only made for static images that change seldom. If the specs are to be believed, then CLEARink with color is as reflective as eink without.
