I too wanted to get the 1.25x, and thought that the two-pack would be 
worth a chance, as the price wasn't that much more.

Don't bother. Contact wearers, or those without glasses won't benefit 
either. I tried the 0.85, and put it away. I should throw it away, 
but find it hard to throw things away that are brand new..

The 1.25x is fine, and I use it whenever I anticipate more 50mm+ shooting.
