Thanks for the comments. I posted a supplier and price for both domes, which was the topic. Now, given the price difference, and that Ikelite is not convinced it is sharper when shooting wide (but is possibly helpful when shooting of over/unders), can you share the other benefits of the 8 inch dome underwater?

My specific reason for asking is I plan to use the 6 inch dome 5503.50 for both my Nikon 60mm micro and Sigma 10-20mm, as recommended by Ikelite. Granted the 8 inch will also work, what is the benefit of the 8 inch? If I have to lug it around, I want compelling reasons.
