I love my Focus I always seem to grab it at the last minute. I fell in love with it the second I tryed it on. its clear so it cheers up cloudy day dives. It also clears easily with just a puff, nice for cold weather diving. How ever I use colored skirt Alien for spearfishing. As you may already gather many of us use more than one 
Cressi Big Eyes are great! but they have the new model now the Matrix which has the much bigger and wider vision, and also good for freediving, we use that here in Cebu City, Philippines...
I have a Cressi Matrix and like it very much. It is the mask I've had longest. Volume issue depends on how deep you are going - I think it is often overstated as a problem. I also have an Omer Alien and the Technisub marina/micromask and Technisub sphera.
The marina/micromask is my favorite - but the alien has the softest silicone and is also very good. Sphera is great but the lenses scratch easily.
For field of view they go like this
Sphera _ side to side and up is unbeatable - fragile - poor downward view
Matrix - side to side - second only to sphera - down best of all - up good - try it on before you by it - fit can be tricky
Marina/micromask - good side to side and up - excellent down - more delicate fit than any of the others
Alien - Like micromask - just not quite as good - best fit of any
