The Legend has a 2 year service interval as well. Aqualung wants the reg is to be brought in for an inspection annually, but serviced every other year. All rebuild kits are free for the life of the reg.

I have the Oceanic EOS regs and I have been pleased with them. Can't comment must on the other.
They're both top of the line regulators. You can't go wrong with either one.
As for details, I know the Oceanic is the smallest 2nd stage in their line and has a very nice swivel attachment where the regulator connects to the hose. I dove with one last year on a test dive and it was the easiest breathing regulator I've ever tried.
The details on weight should be available on the manufacturer's web pages. I would imagine the weight difference is not be dramatic and definitely won't be noticeable underwater.
(It'll probably be difficult to find a picture that shows them side by side unless you find a store that sells them both and will take a picture for you.)

I would also consider the Atomic line of regulators. I own a ScubaPro MK20/G250 and an Aqualung Legend LX and have tried many more (Mares, Apex, Zeagle, etc.). They are both excellent regs, but in my opinion, my new Atomic Z2X breathes easier and drier in any position. The swivel on the hose of the Z2X (as with some other regs, the EOS included) takes the strain off the hose and jaw. The two year service interval is also very nice.
