what is the difference between optrel panoramaxx clt, optrel crystal 2.0 auto darkening and the optrel crystal 2.0 E 3000 papr besides the price.

PAPR means it has an air filter and forced air through the hood, for when you are welding Stainless or in a bad environment. I use the Optrel Crystal 2.0. I love it. I have a Speedglass for my papr. All the Optrel hoods are autodarkening, unless I missed something. Just means that when you strike an arc, the clear visor automatically turns dark to the shade you have preset.

Is this Optrel Crystal 2.0 just as go for stick welding or considered over kill for that type?

This helmet is not "overkill" for any mode of welding. I do all three. It is light, you barely know you have it on. The 3 things I love most about it are, 1) the 2.0 neutral "off state" shade. The visibility is such that you scarcely know you are wearing a helmet. 2) The auto shade. Adjust it once to your liking and after that, whether you're welding at 50 amps or 200 amps, it adjusts automatically. 3) Although at 72 years old, my vision is excellent after high-end cataract surgery, I still put in 2.5 cheaters and the visibility of the weld pool is unmatched by any other helmet. I wear a Swiss watch, I survey with a Swiss total station and I weld with a Swiss helmet. Life is good. Well worth the extra price. Check out Baker's welding reviews on YouTube.

Does helmet come with extra lens ?

It comes with a spare clear front cover for the lens.

Where do I get just the auto darkening lens?

You don’t. If you need a replacement you have to go straight from Optrel
