I was talking to the owner of the lds. He was explaining to me how a bunch of different regulators work and what is important and what is not. He said that the Aeris AT400 is one of the best buys for the money. He explained how they are not known for their regulators as much as their computers, so they package a lot of features into their regs to attract people. Plus, free parts kits for life as long as you get the required maintenance. So, does anybody have first hand experience with either the AT400 sport or Pro? Thanks.
 
My wife has an Atmos Pro, the predecessor to the At 400 and loves it, I have used it a couple of times and it works well, lots of features and good breather. I think the only differences between the AT 400 and the Atmos are the first stage now has a dry valve, and the Atmos had a swivel for the second stage, that while neat, not neccessary and some testers at Scubalab complained about. I think it would be a good choice.

You might also consider the oceanic GT3/cdx5. You can get an older model for around $200 online, and it is very similar to the Atmos/AT400 in features, also distributed by the same company.
 
The owner of the dive shop is right. There are alot of way better regulators in that price range. Look at the Aqualung Titan, Kronos or for around $450 you can get the best performing reg on the market the Atomic Z2.
 
For a few bucks more you could also get their flag ship reg, the Oceanic Delta (keep in mind that aeris and oceanic are really the same company). Then you get the dry valve technology, swivel, sealed high performance 1st, adjustable second, and a crack pressure that makes us always look at our magnahelix to make sure it's not broken!
