That's why I thought the last one would be a good choice. Any advice is more than welcome. Or maybe a completely different dictionary?

Thanks!

as a non native english speaker and reader i chose the concise oxford english dictionary. bought it from books on board $26.99. have no experience with the others. so...
it works fine.
