I am currently in the process of setting up my doubles.

Along with the order, I have ordered for 2 SP MK17 DIN to be used with my G250HP for primary and R390 as backup. But for some reason, the LDS can't confirm me as yet how much longer would I need to wait for the DIN version of MK17s. Since the LDS also carries APEKS, they also suggested DS4 for my setup.

I know that such questions are being asked before in some previous posts. I am wondering if I will have to settle with APEKS DS4s for my 1st stages, would there be any performance problem with regards to pairing them with my G250HP and R390?

Personally, I would prefer not to mix brands for servicing ease so my preference is toward the MK17s. But who knows what the outcome will be so I would like to have your comments on the possibilities of matching DS4 with SP 2nd's.

Thanks a ton!!!
 
It took about four weeks to get my MK 17 DIN regs last summer. the wait should be a lot shorter now.

Of course, a Mk 17 DIN is just a Mk 17 with a universal DIN kit so a customer service oriented LDS would just do the conversion in house with a couple of universal DIN kits and then swap the yokes and DIN kits when the MK 17 DIN's arrive.
