hello again,
upon seeing the replies i realized i never explained my decision process. I've had a L&M tetra housing for a couple of years and a few hundred dives. That is my baby. Nothing but great things to say about L&M housings. This came down to the fact that after speaking with both companies, amphibico essentially offered me a deal i could not refuse. Sometimes it pays to speak with the company directly.
cheers,
Jamie
