iMac screen dims before sleep.

I remember on snow leopard there used to be an option called ''reduce brightness before sleep''.

I always turned it off since the dimming was kind of distracting.

Why the heck did Apple remove this option in system preferences?

It's still there in 10.7.5 and Apple claims it's there in 10.8 - Mountain Lion Energy Saver Preferences

On that support URL you posted it says the following.

The options available depend on the computer you’re using, these options aren’t available on all computers.

I think it's a good idea, when it dims you know the screen is about to go off so you have a chance to wake it up or just let it go off.

My second monitor stays bright though while the iMac goes dim.
