Finally broke down and bought the 3M Headlight kit. Considering that my headlights weren't too badly hazed/pitted to begin with, there isn't a ton of difference and even less so when just looking at the photos, but there definitely is an improvement. It probably took 1.5 to 2 hours to do both headlights, not including breaks as I had to recharge my cordless drill battery.
