I haven't seen the ones at sportsmans so I couldn't say how they compare.
One thing that I would mention is that light will be the biggest limiting factor of all of these cameras. As ice thickens and gets coverd with snow it can really affect how deep these cameras can work.
I was out to the Gorge last week fishing in 70 FOW fishing on clear ice (no snow) that was around 16" thick on a bright and sunny day. It was so dark at that depth that the only way that I could my jig was to turn on the light. The problem with the light is that it lights up all the little bugs and other things floating in the water that it can make seeing the fish a problem. I would bet that K2 had the light on in there videos and that it why you see all the little white dots floating around.
So all in all light penetration and water quality will be more of a limiting factor than the screen most of the time.
