On the DIN convertibles, corrosion, stripping of the insert hex, leakage around the insert. Leaking around the collar of the regulator, corrosion of the threads of rental tanks scouring the regulator threads and leakage. Not to mention that there are two different standards. Oh and my new fav, DIN convertible valves being to large to slip a yoke reg over.
The point of this thread is not the alleged superiority of DIN but the bad advice of selling/recommending DIN regs for North American and Caribbean Basin traveling divers due to their limited prevalence and niche use. Tech bleed over again on the forum.

I agree with you Nemrod... except when it comes to the different standards. They exist, but only in theory. I know nobody who get's fooled by the M26 Nitrox din standard. It doesn't exist, almost nobody uses it why should they.
