Thank you everyone for all the input! I feel much better about it now.

So, quick question... I am wanting to transition into a backplate and wing setup. But I have a dive coming up before I can purchase one. Since I need to pick up a new reg hose for this dive, Would it be ok if I went ahead and setup my regs with my primary on a 40" with an elbow, and my octo on...

Based on all the feedback and recommendations that I have gotten from you all, I am now (as soon as they arrive) the proud owner of a Scubapro MK17/ S600/ R195 reg set!! I am very excited to get them in the water. I should do 3-4 dives in the next couple of weeks so thanks again, everyone!!!

Graeme thank you! That makes me feel a lot more comfortable about my order!

Thank you Shurite7! I agree.

Lexvil, that was my thought.

OK. I found (at DIRDirect in the UK) the Apeks package that has the Apeks XTX200 (FSR) first stage, XTX200 second stage, and a free XTX40 octo all for $390.00 US! Shipping is around $40 US (Fed-Ex). Sounded like a good deal, but I was concerned about the waranty and servicing. But you guys have...

I appreciate all you guys helping me out and answering the questions I have! If I buy from the UK will service centers here still do the servicing since I won't be able to register the reg set??

Jack, Thank you for that info, I wasn't aware that AW serviced Apeks!

Shurite7, So, If I buy the Apeks from the UK, I will lose my warranty, But there are service centers that will service it for me? Sorry for all the questions but I have been out of the game so long I'm lost. I have people telling me Scubapro, Apeks, DGX ect. I'm sure they are all good I just...

I REALLY like the Apeks XTX200 package but I was told it would be very hard to get it serviced here in the US. I was also told that buying from the UK, I would lose my 2 year warranty in order to get the big cost savings.

All great advice. I have a lot to think about. I am planning on ordering from DIR Direct in the UK. They have several reg packages to choose from.

LOL yes, sorry....until I advance into tech diving.

Thank you everyone! With all the great feedback I have gotten, I am leaning towards the Scubapro MK17/ S600 along with the Scubapro R195 octo. Burhan made a suggestion that I agree with to have the octo match the regs. I am hoping this is a great setup that will get me in the water a lot and do...

OK, after a lot of searching/ studying I have narrowed my choices down to the following: ScubaPro MK17/ S600 ScubaPro MK17/ G260 Apeks XTX50/ DST Unless I can find complete setups that come with matching octos, I will most likely use DGX second stages as the octos. So, what are your thought/...

Thank you all for the feedback.

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in an international regulator set... like if I order a Scubapro first and second stage from Italy? Probably a dumb question, but I just don't want to order something from Europe thinking it is like what we have here and it is different somehow...

RyanT, that is a great point! I'll check and see what the cost is for the service class.

Warren, I like the looks a lot better as well! You may have sold me! I like the complete streamlined OW package. And the whole setup is cheaper than the MK11/C370.

Warren, LOL, looks like they are made by Deep6! They sure look good and the price is definitely right!
