Ikelite W-20 vs. Inon UWL-100 vs. Epoque DCL-20

Which is the best 67mm WA lens? It's my next purchase in this never-ending game of UW photography. Looks like the specs are the same on each and they are priced relatively the same. Does is simply come down to brand reputation?

I cannot say performance wise but having held then in my hand the Inon is of superior quality. The price difference is not completely huge and therefore I would get the Inon brand. Additionally the Inon can accept the Inon dome converter which then allows it to be classified as an ultra wide angle lens with a FOV in excess of 130 degrees and extremely close focus and huge depth of field. Generally it is the Inon Type II 100WAL that is needed with some few exceptions.

I agree with Nemrod, I own both and the Inon has a higher quality construction. I see no difference however in the images.
