Is the Sapphire not as bright and crisp as the ion X glass as in the past?

I didnt see many details or comparisons of that in any of the videos I watched by MKHBD, ijustine, etc.

The Sapphire coating affects the reflectivity, which may not be as vibrant. But coming from someone who has owned the aluminum and stainless model, I barely noticed the difference between the two. The stainless always worked well for me in any lighting conditions. Especially with 1000 nit display when they change that for the Series 2.
