um, you guys are aware that Starfire is only a brand name. all it it, is a low iron glass. there are several producers of low iron glass and they are all pretty darn close to each other. I have some samples of a couple different ones coming in for me to see at a local glass shop. (I tried to get Starfire and they told me it would be more expensive than a couple other types that were identical because of shipping from the US)

another thing you have to consider is the length of the glass you are looking through from the end.. the longer it is the more of a tint it will have, but some brands will have more than others, maybe Starfire is a little more clear than the next and maybe it isn't, glass clarity can very from batch to batch so who knows. OK now i am going to go read that article.
