As Thoreau said, "Best to avoid the beginnings of evil."
What you are comparing, of course, is the speed of the lens through the
viewfinder, rather than the end product of light captured on film. It
probably helps to keep the final goal in mind. Or maybe indulge in a
2-series screen if you are now fatally attracted to brightness and they
work in your camera. Or start picking up cans along the highway, or even
doing some wedding photography.
Good luck with your "problem." ;-)
