It's far more easier to use my Air than Pro outside. Apple simply removed the outer glass from the Air, which helps with less weight.
Basically, any lights or things that can reflect behind you will not be reflected in the screen as much as the Pro, no where near as much in fact.
The reflections are still slightly there but are purple in effect due to not bouncing off a glass screen but an actual monitor screen.
So yes, I give the viewing outside 8/10. Obviously I wouldn't recommend doing loads of design/photography work outside but for general stuff it's fine.

I sold my glossy MBP already so I only have the anti-glare MBP and the glossy MBA which is quite different than the glossy MBP.
