I came close to buying one from Harbor Freight when I bought mine. Thought better of it and went across the street and bought a better unit from a more reputable tool seller.
I have bought stuff from Harbor and been relatively happy with it but with a welding helmet you are entrusting one of your most precious possesions (sight) to a cheap helmet. Seemed to me that a little more money spent was well worth it.
Now as to the helmets. My guess is the one you are looking at from HF has a electronic insert that has the same outside dimensions as a small glass regular lense. Main problem with this is that the viewing area has to be smaller than that to allow for the electronics. Makes for a real small window to your work.
Spend the money and get a better helmet $100 to $150 will get you a real good one. The one I have is a little dim for use inside but it works for me.
Hopefully T bone will weigh in here. I know he doesn"t much care for the electronics but I really respect his views on welding questions.
