Yes, I have, {;-)
I chose bronze because it removes only blue end of the spectrum, which
mostly includes the light scattered by haze, dust etc. There is a
noticeable increase in contrast, this is why the best pilots sunglasses are
bronze too. Grey tint removes all frequencies so reduces overall
information content with no improvement in contrast.
If night flying is important it may be that clear is the best. Clear is
best fpor photography too of course although really a direct vision panel
is neede, there are always reflections from inside the cockpit
