Nikon, Leica, or Zeiss?

I'm looking at new microscopes (for advanced amateur hobbby use) and I
think I've gotten the list down to three:

Nikon Eclipse 50i/55i
Leica DM2000/DM2500
Zeiss Axiostar Plus

There are no microscope dealers within 500 miles, so I can't get any
hands on time with any of these, which leaves me with no way to make a
decision.

Anyone have comments on any of these models? Are there reviews
available anywhere?

Also, I haven't been able to find prices on the Internet. How much do
these models cost in a basic bright field configuration?

Thanks.
