You going to be diving in Ca? or else where in the world? I like Seavisions ultra masks, Never dove the tec2500 though. I am a big fan of the color correcting lenses as well I have a Yellow lense for night and low vis diving IE Quarries, and a Red lens for warmer water to bring the reds back in after the light gets filtered out.
I dive the ultra 2000 and last years version of the 2600, not sure what to call it i don't like that one as much doesn't fit perfect. . .

I too prefer black. Snorkeling is when black really comes in handy. Try this experiment...turn on a light, then stand or sit off to the side with your clear skirted mask on. Notice the glare on the inside of your lense? Now cover that side of your mask with your hand and the glare goes away. The black skirt does that for you. They say some people get tunnel vision and are not comfortable with wearing black. Fortunately it does not affect me. I also tend to have a camera with me on most every dive. Now they say for night dives clear is better as you can see your buddies light through the sides. It is all personal preference. I use a Mares X-Vision so I can not comment on the masks the OP is asking about, but I am very happy with my Mares.
Hmm! I suppose I'm also willing to expand my options if anyone has other good black/low vol masks to recommend. :colgate:
The majority of my diving this summer will be in Ontario (Great Lakes/Surrounding area) but do go on vacation a few times a year down south (Mex, FL).
Thanks again for the input
