As I suspected since posting my findings, he wasn't running his Touch at the same brightness level I was. When I made them both full brightness, there was no practical difference in visibility; his was possibly a little sharper, while my whites were perhaps a little whiter (probably due to the blue cast from the 'bad' screens). But in all practical terms, there wasn't an appreciable difference that would help justify the polarized screen.

I still think mine has better visibility in daylight. Perhaps it gets brighter, or the viewing angle helps, but clearly where the good screen shines is indoors... Where you can enjoy the vibrant colors and view angles.
