Hey, I was travelling but replied via DM. I sold my Mk11Ts and have none left, and of course I miss them. Scubapro should make more, but I bet they came to their senses and focus on stuff with better profit margins. Titanium reportedly is tough to work with. Buddhasummer was my ONLY hope to get mine (thanks!), they are that rare. But I agree that the auction in the external link above is unlikely to get a sale at that price. I felt embarrassed listing mine as I did for the price above, but they sold instantly for what I paid.
I would not change a thing on the Mk11T design except one idea: assymetric port arrangement. Make the ports like the Mk17-EVO on the divers left hand side and like the Mk11 or Mk17-classic on the divers right hand side. Perfection, especially since a small unsealed reg like this can be flipped upside down to give you the hose angles you want. Yup, I got Atomic Tis mainly for hose routing and my familiarity with piston reg servicing.
The weights are pictured below in ounces. But it's not just the weight. You'll never have corrosion inside if water gets in, and you can ding titanium up and no coating flakes off (which is why I would never color-anodize titanium, as it is a sure way to make the reg look aged after time).
If you make the Mk11T sealed, its weight will move into Apeks Flight and MK11-forged-brass (i.e. latest version) territory. Needs to be small and light. You want a sealed Mk11T? Then get an Oceanic TDX5 ! Can be upgraded to be sealed I think, is a diaphragm reg, and made of titanium...
