Not at that price. You're just paying for the name (both of them, in this case). The lenses are higher grade, meaning they're more consistent across the lens, smoother, maybe a little clearer, but the base polarization is the same.Official Hobbit 3D glasses. I purchased a pair just to see if the glasses would help the 3D ghosting that seems to happen with the theater glasses. (even the upgraded IMAX glasses)

I'll be using the glasses that came with my computer monitor. They work just fine, and they're far more comfortable than the theater glasses. If anyone's thinking of getting some custom glasses, I'd recommend just buying a set of glasses for home TV use. Mine are Asus, but LG makes several varieties as well, I think Sony does too.
The last time I saw anything in 3D (in theaters) was Prometheus, and I did get a bit of ghosting even with my own glasses. It's nearly unavoidable in any presentation with sharp contrast, especially very bright objects in a dark background. For example, the "worst" parts of Prometheus occurred when they were exploring the structure for the first time.. brightly-lit helmets and faces in an otherwise very dark tunnel. And I only say "worst" by comparison.. most people probably wouldn't even have noticed, but I was nitpicking the view through my glasses since I had just gotten them. And it wasn't the glasses causing it, I think it was the polarization filter in the projector (and only in one eye, the left, I think it was), because I didn't get the same level of ghosting watching the film at home, using the exact same pair of glasses.
