I have a airfed sentinel and it is also too bright, I'm used to it but I'm sure its a actual fault. As a kid at work had the same mask and his functioned better than mine. I also have a Lincoln electric/viking and I can't fault it as its way better than the sentinel. However its not airfed so I...
As much as I dislike parweld, I would say your machine would be fine for body work. You just need some more experience car body work is awful to weld on, rust/various gauges of steel on the same piece of steel/wind/paint/trapped moisture. There's a lot of negatives to deal with, I would happily...

The welds are probably done by someone on piece work, not the best visually but if the boss wants numbers over quality that's what you get. As previously stated they should be sufficient, unless your kali muscle and have a thing for muscle ups
At that price I would say its a bargain, for what looks like a copy of a lincoln/snap on optic. But do find out the costs of inner & outer lenses before you buy
