Re: type of mask best for wide field of view?

I'm leaning toward one of those 'large window, close to face' designs, without side windows.  I do like the idea of better vertical vision as well, since it helps to look down right in front of me at obstructions in my gear, probably make it easier to clip the rig to my BCD, etc.

I was looking at the Aqua Lung Mythos, but then I saw a lot of reviews saying the frame was fragile and broke easily.

Then I started looking at various Tusa models.  Hard to pick a mask over the internet without ever trying it on.

Incidentally, the prescription masks I'm looking at do not use inserts or glue-in panels, but instead actually grind the lenses into the mask glass itself.  Supposed to be best for vision.
