I should Work at Oakley

Getting some really good offers and thinking of picking up one of these:
The catch here is that I already own the DP and the SS, both are tried and trusted frames. Both of them are very comfortable though the DP is my personal favourite as it fits my face like no other. However the lens options for both of these are rather discouraging.
Then there're the ones with the sweet DWP lenses.
First off, the Turbine (not Rotor) which admittedly looks big on my face though I wouldn't call it uncomfortable. Add to it, easy availability of replacement lenses in a wide range of Prizms and Iridiums.
The Straightlink looks appealing as well and going by looks, should be a hair smaller and wider than the DP. Never tried one though.
Which of these would you folks recommended?
| 1 | Turbine Polished Black/DWP, $90 | DWP Lenses, Unobtainium temples | Large Size, Unappealing Looks |
| 2 | Split Shot Polished Black /SWP, $105 | Already own one so I know it's comfy and looks good on me. | SWP Lens - not sure how good/bad. |
| 3 | Drop Point Polished Black /Black Iridium, $85 | Already own a Drop Point and it fits me like a glove. | Bland looks, unpolarized Lens |
| 4 | Straightlink Matte Black /DWP, $115 | DWP Lenses, lots of unobtainium | Haven't tried physically but size appears small |
