Which Mediterranan Lemon?

Hi folks,

I was wondering if any of y'all had experience with "Mediterranean lemons." Four Winds has some for sale including Villafranca Lemon, Genoa Lemon (Italian lemon), Limonero Fino Lemon, and as a future offering, the Feminnelo Santa Teresa Lemon.

I currently have a standard Improved Meyer Lemon in the ground, as well drawf varieties in containers including vareigated pink lemonade, lisbon and ponderosa. In the context of my current collection, I was wondering if it was worthwhile to get another lemon tree.

Which tree is your favorite and why? Which is most attractive? Most productive? Tastiest? Easiest to take care of? Most distinctive? Best in southern California?

I'm also thinking of getting a sambukan or ujuketsu lemon, though I haven't found any at my local nurseries and I'm extremely hesitant to mail order because I can't pick out precisely the tree I want. Anyone know of any nurseries in southern California that stock these varietes?
