Multifocal / Monofocal Combination Decision

I had a Rezoom lens (NXG1,19.5D) in my right dominant eye 2+ years ago.  I now need another lens in my left eye. At 54, I still do a lot of night driving/traveling and hate the large halo's around lights.  I even see large shadows around street signs and TV characters.  I don't want to solidify the problem with another ReZoom.  I can read pretty well from the Rezoom eye when the print is held just the right distance from my eye..and general clarity is good at all distances.
For the new left eye IOL, I discussed  having an aspheric monofocal lens implanted.  I am OK with having to wear reading glasses, but after surgery I would hope to be able to see clearly at roughly 3 - 4 ft" without them, so I can see faces cleary, perhaps be able read the speedometer and prices on store shelves.  We discussed using a -1 diopter lens to accomplish recognizing the left eye distance vision sacrifice, which the right eye Rezoom is doing well with.  
I thought we had a strategy but in 2nd opinion consult with another surgeon, she agreed with the monofocal IOL in the left eye would be OK, but said I should not adjust for better near vision because I would lose some depth perception and have so so over all vision and not be happy? What to do?
I have heard there is a new Akreos aberration free monofocal lense with increased depth of field...seems like this would this be a good lens in my case?  Both the surgeons I spoke with prefer the tried and true B&L silicone aspheric lens and don't have experience with the Akreos... although are open to using it.
Seems third opinion needed...and would be greatly appreciated.

I ended up putting in the Akreos monofocal -.5D.  I have excellent 20/20  distance vision AND the monofocal eye has compensated for the Rezoom eye and I hardly see the halos. For people experiencing halos or shadows around anything bright or with a sharp contrast (after implant with a multifocal) I would recommend this strategy as an option. I might even go to a -1D for better unaided computer reading. My near vision is not the best but I have the ability to read something close with one eye closed - or read anything with a pair of 1.5 readers.  I can read prices on the store shelves without glasses. The main thing is that the halos are essentially gone - and I have more versatile all around vision that I would with two monofocals it seems.

That's for the information. Hope it helps someone.
