I have a Tokina 10-17 fisheye. I want a small dome for travel convenience and CFWA and WAM. The Zen 100mm mini dome is clearly an option. Nauticam now has a 140mm glass dome that is bigger than the Zen 100mm but not as big as the Zen 170 (or Nauticam N120 180mm). It seems that Nauticam created the 140mm glass dome for full frame cameras that what a mini-dome experience (based on Alex Mustard's review of this dome for full frame.)

But is there a reason to consider the Nauticam 140mm glass dome if you have a crop sensor camera or is the Zen 100mm the better option for crop sensor? For example, does the 140mm give you better corner sharpness (allowing more open apertures), some chance at over-under shots, while also maintaining the CFWA/WAM ability of the Zen 100mm?
