Is museum glass at Tar Heel Ants worth getting for the extra $8? I have a standard glass and museum glass nest and I can’t really tell a major difference. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I haven't had the standard glass but I can tell you that the museum glass is excellent for viewing and photographing the ants as it has reduced glare so camera lights won't mess with the picture. (y)
