How much light does a prism diagonal lose?

I have a prism diagonal that I am using with a Coronado Helios 1 solar telescope. I was wondering how much light is lost with the prisms? The solar image is pretty bright, but I was wondering if a mirror diagonal would show fainter bits like prominences better?
