not by choice, I am an idiot and took my 100 foot rated W300 to 115, apparently no wiggle room on that rating. it took surprisingly great photos for such a simple camera, but decided it was time to step up to the TG-7.

initially I will be using my existing cheapo amazon tray (movo) and video lights (the smaller suptig lights, which are surprisingly excellent and durable, and stupid cheap to boot)

I have currently ordered the Seafrogs housing partly due to cost and partly due to the deeper depth rating/double o-ring design and partly due to the greater flexibility for lens and filter options since it will accept both 52 and 67mm lenses/filters..

is there a compelling reason I should cancel that and get the Olympus housing instead?
 
Whichever is cheaper.
I managed to buy my original case brand new from Japan at a similar price to a cheap Seafrogs housing. It works well but it looks a bit cartoonish. :) If you ordered Seafrogs already, go for it. The vacuum and moisture detectors on the Seafrogs are nice features that I don't have... but also that I did not need so far.
