So am I, not because of your test, but for some reason your postings with 
an attatched picture only load for ~80%. Then the downloading stops.

I did simmilar tests some time ago and fount #2 the most realistic. #3 
looks like massive glass. In #1 the air gap, however small, always looks 
big and unnatural, probably beacuse of the extra reflections.

When using photons, #2 is the best. The other two show less caustics. Also 
the overlap of water and glass make a difference, the smaller the better.
