Seems the anti-glare/glare issue has been turned into some kind of compromise. I don't think I'll be able to get this.

Not really a compromise. Glossy vs. matte is a function of whether the front glass of the LCD has an anti-glare coating on it.

There is no front glass on the Retina MBP LCD. Apple removed it to save weight.

Apple: So innovative, they solve problems they weren't even trying to solve.
