Cajon Comparison - Help

Hi, i'm going to buy my first Cajon, by having to choose only between these three Cajons which model would you recommend to buy?

1st model:
http://meinlpercussion.com/products/Product/PER-CAJONS/Product/show/429/427/PER-CAJONS/
(there is a video to hear how it sounds and there are all technical data)

2nd model:
http://www.cajondg.com/en/products/descrizione_compass.html
(the same here)

3rd model:
Sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_kWwWnJE1w
Data: http://www.cajondg.com/en/products/descrizione_calima.html

Thank you!

1) I wouldn't buy a cajon blind without hearing it.
2) I hate cajons that have screws through the tapa (faceplate).
3) Meinl makes fine instruments generally, but I don't like the sound on almost all of their mass-produced factory cajon models. Thin.

Cajons are like snare drums. The differences are huge. It's not really about quality, it's more a matter of personal use and taste.

Calima is my choice, but it's very subjective.
