I'd be interested in a link to the ebay shop you used (on the understanding that it doesn't represent a guarantee from either you or DPS... just a place people might like to look if they are willing to perform a similar upgrade).

I went through a seller called jinfinance.
Inkista: Those are all valid concerns. Here are my experiences with them.
1. AF brackets still illuminate to confirm focus. Yay.
2. I put my 18-200mm on and zoomed out to 200mm so I was looking through f5.6. I went into my dim bedroom to see how bad the viewfinder would get. The microprism collar blacked when my camera was metering f5.6, 1/30, ISO 800. I couldn't get the split prism to blackout but it was getting noticeably dimmer. I would say, in general, the viewfinder is a little dimmer than the original. I think the more expensive screen from KatzEye and the like would perform better.
3. I set my camera to spot metering, then switched between the different focusing brackets, but metering the same spot with each one. The center spot seemed to meter 1/3 to 2/3 stops lower than the side spots.
