Thanks for all the information.
I would be very surprised if a company that acquired two separate companies that manufactured the same product didnt try to reduce cost by eliminating redundancy. I could easily imagine the same regulator with different plastic covers marketed as two separate regulators. The average consumer that has not done their homework would be oblivious to this marketing strategy. I bet there are many LDSs that would not offer this information right away either.

Well....people want a choice. Now they're choosing between Apeks and Auqalung. If one of those brands disappeared they'd be choosing between Aqualung and Scubapro.....
