I have the Polished/Titanium Romeo 2's and yes, the Titanium lenses are dark enough in bright sunlight. I had the same concerns about the Ti lens at first, but after wearing it, it's one of my favorite lenses, if not THE favorite. I would definitely recommend the Polished/Ti R2's. Almost everyone here who has them, love them. And the one's who don't have them, want them.
