I've got 24 hours to decide on a new windshield. What are the pros and
cons
of clear vs tint?

I'm leaning towards clear since you can always put sunglasses on. I
haven't
seen any "de-tint" glasses.

It just depends. My airplane's windows have a slight tint, sort of a light
blue/green color. It may help the cabin not get quite so hot on sunny days
(though, I doubt it's a significant effect) and it does help cut the
brightness a bit, but it also means I have to color-correct all the photos I
take from the plane.

If I were actually flying in a hot, sunny environment on a regular basis,
I'd probably like a tint on all the windows, maybe even darker than what's
on my plane now (at least on the sides). But otherwise, I'd prefer no tint
at all, to maximize the brightness of the view when it's grey out and so
that my pictures come out better.
