Alright, the glass is installed and it will serve well it's intended purpose...BUT.. I will say that it is not the equal of original glass.
This is AMD glass just for clarification...
Two things; One, I can see in certain lighting situations a very minor 'splotching' of the tint. Almost like it was applied with a spray gun. This is barely noticeable and you have to really look and I suspect this is the same issue that is visible with Polaroid glasses.

Two, and this is more noticeable, the glass is wavy right at the top edge where it meets the roof. The waves extend down about an inch or two. I doubt that I could pick it up in a photo. Not a deal breaker but it's enough that if I run across a really good original I will pick it up to swap it later.
That said, it was still worth the swap because the clear glass is a definite improvement of my grinder-etched original and the general appearance of the car with my window rolled up is way better now.
