Anon figment vs. oakley o-frame

i have a-frames currently with a black iridium lense and needed a goggle for night. i would get a lense but the lense is more $ than either the figment or the o-frame. in the case of me buying the figment, however, i would have to buy the goggles with the gold mirror lense, then sell the lens for $15, then buy a yellow lense for $20, evening out at around $50-$55. (the o-frame with the persimmon lense in $45)
i've tried both pairs on and both seem to fit very well. what im trying to find out is if there are any disadvantages, or other things i should know about that are associated with either of these goggles, such as fogging, durability, etc.
thanks.

the e-frames are only like $10 less than the o-frames and are less comfortable and ugly. also, i'd like a tinted lense, for some reason i just dont like clear.

i must decide. the sale on the o-frames ends iminantly.

if you get a tinted for night your range of visibility is gonna go way down

well first of all, it really isnt all that huge of a differance and clear lenses have no contrast.

im leaning towards the o-frames because selling the lense of the figments seems like a big hassle.

ok. i think im getting o-frames. i think selling the figment lense is a big hassle and other than that they seem pretty equal quality wise. (although ive heard of some fogging with the figments) I admit that the anons are better looking and if these were my only pair i would consider them more but i have my a-frames that look sick and i will only be weaaring these at night, which is the least likely time for someone to see what goggles im weraring, and if they look that bad i cad always sew a patch on the strap or something.
