Let me begin by saying I have recently completed my intro course and will be doing my OW later this month in Mexico. Earlier this week I went to my LDS and bought my gear. I felt at a real disadvantage, not knowing a lot about the different gear and their price points. My question is about regulators. It came down to a choice between the Sherwood SR1 and the Genesis GS2000. It was put to me that "if you were to blindfold someone, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference in how they perform". It was also told to me that they only varied in price by $50 and that the Genesis was alot nicer for him to service. He explained that he uses the GS2000 as do half of his staff, the other half use the SR1 (partly, he thought, because it is prettier). As I mentioned, I have no real point of reference. I also purchased the Sherwood Wisdom 2 (only difference with the new 3 is cosmetic) and the Avid CQR3 bc. Can someone please give me their informed opinion on this as I am going to pick it all up on Monday. Thanks in advance.
