Great info guys! I'm getting down to decision time (except I think I like Omer's 2006 line best 
)
Correction on the visibility question - average is more in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 meters - some times more - 4 or 5 would be a very poor day - I'd say I've seen maybe 3 or 4 days like that - usually right after a big storm. In early spring and later fall we sometimes have 20 meters.
That said I don't expect to be shooting from the full range of the gun. Right now I'm looking at the Riffe mt1 (s) and the Excalibur - also the sporasub instinct - which is definitely stylin but sounds like it needs a little work out of the box. The Omers have a very nice track record. I do like the open muzzle design on some of the t-20s and it seems like a rail would help if you put a second band on a thinnish shaft.
You guys are really helping me get this sorted out - much thanks!
I don't know about buying another omer thing though - I've got the Alien, weight vest and float - could be kinda tacky to have an omer gun too - not too mention those new Ice fins - which look way to cool to pass up.
After this I'll probably have to subsist on what I can catch!
