Anyone have any experiences with bowfronts in this size range? I'd love to hear about them, positive or negative. BTW, should be 155 and 175...no 195 exists as far as I know.

Mine's a 175. My only complaint are the scratches but that has nothing to do with the bow. Oh pictures are harder to get because of the distortion from the bow as well.

Are there higher end and lower end tanks? I would assume that a higher-end tank wouldn't have any/as much distortion, but that may not be true.

Ok, distortion. Anything else?

I don't think the distortion has much to do with the quality of the tank. It's the angle of the bow. Like half circle tanks will have more distortion then a normal bowfront due to the degree of the bend
