There are at least four steampunk themed decks on the market at the moment - probably more while I type.

Are there more on the way?
I love steampunk art and aesthetics. I know I want to buy at least one of them - I can't afford to buy them all.
Which one would you recommend? Which one did you buy? Which would you buy if you could, and why?
And for those who own one of them: how does it shuffle, read, work with yourself, others, clients? Was it easy to get into? What are the quirks, surprises, joys and disappointments of the deck? Which cards did you like? Were the minors different from the majors, and if, how? Which kind of readings are especially rich with the deck?
Is there a deck where you would say: steampunk is just a gimmick, it's played for show, it's shallow? Or does the steampunk theme reveal insights that other themes don't?
What about the books that go with them? Necessary or not?
Please help me to decide, enable or de-enable me. I really feel drawn to all of them, but to none of them strongly enough.
(If there is such a thread already, please mods close this one. I looked but didn't find one.)
