I'm coming to this discussion really late, but I thought my input might help.  I've been looking at loupes for months, and nothing really impressed me -- the Schneider 4x seemed "ok," and the Rodenstock was a little bit better.  The one that made me stop looking was a Jobo loupe.  Seems well built, offered less distortion than the Schneider and Rodenstock (though maybe that's how I'm looking through it, glasses and all), and was under $100 locally.  

Probably worth looking at...
