I also converted my 3 bladed GS1200 to 2 blades and was amazed at the increase in screen brightness. It was comparable to going from the low lamp setting to the high lamp setting. In other words, the brightness with the 2 bladed shutter at low lamp setting was about the same as the brightness of the 3 bladed shutter at high lamp setting. Unfortunately the 2 bladed shutter I purchased from Steve Osborne looked like it had been cut from aluminum sheet metal with a pair of hand metal cutters - a very crude shutter indeed, and not at all what I was expecting, namely a precision machined part. I had to hand file it to get it from hitting the housing. But at least it worked! Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.
