My take, the Multivex mirrors are better than the stock passenger mirrors in terms of depth perception as they seem flatter toward the inside edge and then turn increasingly convex toward the outside edge. Thus, once you get used to them as develop the habit of looking at the inner third of the mirror, they work well. The driver's side's a different story, however, as the flat glass in the stock mirrors is perfect for judging depth -- at the cost, of course, of a huge blind spot. Maybe others will feel differently, but there you go.
