Update: Top left is a Wilson Aluminum with tan non wraparound Wilson pads. Top right is a Wilson aluminum with two tone Wilson wraparound pads. Bottom left is a silver diamond frame with gray and black Wilson wraparound pads. Bottom right is my aforementioned Wilson TI.

Love the top-left tan-and-silver look.

"Fonzie" Rig - Mizuno 2QA-122 w/ Wilson black and grey wrap-around pads & SSK Spyder throat guard

I've used the new-view Wilson frames before and they have great vision but I think the Nike has a better view even with it being a little deeper frame.

Can someone explain the "new-view" idea to me? Right now I use a Diamond mask but I'm looking into the Wilson Titanium displayed on Ump-attire since the Nikes on eBay are getting out of my price range.

The "new-view" means the mask is low profile. The frame itself is not as deep and fits closer to your face giving you a better field of view... supposedly.

In addition to what @codizzled said, since the frame doesn't curve as much and as closer to your face, it could cause much more harm than if you were to get hit in the face by a foul ball with a regular mask. So the best advice is just to stay away from those in general.

The Wilson titanium low profile is highly sought by MiLB umpires.

I loved the low profile Wilson Ti. She's gone now, but she was nice. 

Sooooooo it sounds like "she" is going to be like the highly sought after Nike soon? Obviously the one that Ump-attire is advertising is NOT the low profile "new view" one? Dang...I was hoping for a MAJOR upgrade from my Diamond.

All they offer is the cro-moly in low-profile.

The mask is made of chrome moliben. It's only offered in low profile to my knowledge.
