I have a Legend Supreme not LX. Up to now, I have had no need for the use of the additional regulation on the LX second stage (heard it is more to make the regulator harder than easier to breath). I really like it. When I have bought it, there were 100 Euros difference between the Legend and Legend LX, up to now I have not regreted to have taken the cheaper one.

There is nothing on the LX that makes it harder to breathe. It is just a matter of a heat exchanger and a lip shield. How does this make it harder to breathe?Bretagne:
No experience with Seac but I will also vote for Aqualung Legend LX Supremes. I have two that I have been using for the past year.
As commented earlier, I also have done out of gas drills with a lot of people using other regulators. These are by far the champs. Check out the work of breathing specs on them.
They are dry in any position. I have had mine down to 200+ and they breathe efforlessly.

No, that is the difference between the Legend and Legend Supreme (the one I have), or Legend LX and Legend LX Supreme (warm water / cold water difference, which costs peanuts). With the Legend, you can regulate the venturi effect, with the Legend LX you have the same thing plus an additional regulation to make the breath hardest or easiest.rescuediver009:

I have not put the photo of the Legend Supreme (mine) because you do not see the difference.
Note: ads say that the adjustable second stage reduce breathing effort to zero, but I have talked with people who prefer to use it a little harder to breath.

There is no big difference betwenn apeks atx200 and legend lx. I got my legend LX since my LDS sell it cheaper than ATX200.
