@HanageTo, I can only tell you about the summit goggles, since I don't have any experience with the bolles, so can't compare the two.
First off, they're pretty big, so would fit a larger face. They offer a very wide FOV, so from that aspect they're great. The triple - layer foam is super - comfy, I never noticed them on my face.
The lens - changing really takes about 5 seconds, no more. Simply pull the lens off, bring the spare one close to the goggle and the magnets pull it into its place (you don't even have to aim).
There's a silicon line that runs inside the length of the strap all the way, so they never slip off the helmet (if you plan on using them with one).
The downside? During a heavy snow fall, the top 1/2" - 1" of the lens did fog up. In fairness, I do give off more body heat than the average person  , but it's just something I wanted to mension. Another reason for this could also be that they fit really tight with my helmet (it's one of those with a beak) so it completely covers the ventilation ports on top of the goggle.
The blue bird lens performed very well, the low light lens... I'm not sure. We had a couple of days of complete whiteouts and I did struggle. Did I struggle more than everyone else (and everybody else did struggle).... Again, not sure.
They did help, since the couple of times I removed them, I couldn't see a thing. But I would have loved to have had a chance to compare them back-to-back with a lens that is a proven performer in those conditions (such as Smith's Blue Sensor Mirror or Oakley's HI Amber).
And that's about it. Oh, and they do come with a nice, rigid, good quality case that offers great protection.

@HanageTo, That's what I've been thinking...and why I actually stopped short of recommending them. I honestly don't know.
If I could compare the low light lens to another one that is a known great performer, and it performed similarly - I'd say they're an absolute steal. I think even this way they represent a good value. But I've just got that nagging doubt about the low light lens.
Btw I forgot - there's no visual distortion. They're very clear optically. I got them after I read somwhere here on the forum that the lenses are made by Cebe so, if true, they should be good. I'll see if I can find that thread for you.
Maybe someone else who knows a bit more about it can chime in?
Sorry I can't answer your question definitively & hope this is helpful to you
