After having struggled with the spirit levels in a Noblex 150 the 
last holidays, I can only say that the one in the 202 is 
perfect....not sure how the one in the Noblex 135 looks like, but I 
sure would love to have one from a 202 in my Noblex 150....8-))

The Widelux is mechanically more complicated, and hence less 
reliable....while the Noblex is battery depending....
Optical quality of the Noblex 135 is not *that* much better....definately 
not in relation with its much higher price, and you also don't get 
the nice slow speeds on entry models....for the same performance, you 
pay 6 times as much.
If you really want the last bit of optical performance, get a Noblex
150 medium format right away....a top of the line 135 model is the
same price as an entry level 150 (both US$2500 with B+H).
