Just wondering what people's thoughts are on using Apeks XTX 50's as bailout regs on 60 metre (200 ft) dives?

Yeah, good regs. You'll see them often on tech setups. However, everything depends on how well the reg is tuned. You can have a very nice reg, like the one you've mentioned, tuned like crap.

I have taken my XTX 50 down to 60 m on OC with no issues.

I actually bailed out at 90 meters about 300 feet during my MOD4 training. No issues at all.

Cheers everyone - sounds like they will do the job then.
I wouldn't worry - Apeks is rather well known amongst divers in Europe, including tech world. Fingers crossed it will survive the Aqualung saga...
Have developed fetish myself, currently on Tungsten's/Black Sapphire and XTX50/DST combos. Even at 100, zero issues including during BO from 80m or so. As long as its in good shape it will work like a charm. Service kits are also widely available.
