the Supreme has an environmentally sealed first stage and a fancier face plate. And more than $20....

I was just kidding....It looks like it has a gold rather than silver retaining ring and has lip guard. The case (box) is different and it probably comes with the nice comfo bite mouthpiece too.

But LP show only $20 price difference.

The suprême come with a lip guard, a second diaphragm to seal the chamber, so the chamber become a dry chamber, a lower MP ( +/- 135 lbs) and the front cover come in blue instead of red.

Thanks for the schematic. What is the difference between the LX and the LX Supreme? Is it simply a cosmetic difference in the case?

Twenty dollars.

pretty much... (at least on the legend).

the Supreme has an environmentally sealed first stage and a fancier face plate. And more than $20....

On the Titan the only real difference is the environmental kit sealing the first stage. on the Legend, the first stage is already sealed on both the Legend and Legend Supreme.... so pretty much the only difference is cosmetic and $20 as said.

I think both Supremes come with a "lip guard" that fits over the mouthpiece to help in theory keep your lips warmer.

That was the cosmetic difference. The silver ring on the supreme and the gold pimp ring on the regular Legend. but since then AL has switched to silver on both I think.

I don't think that Leisure Pro has updated it's photos. (either that or they are selling last years stock out).

They also put a "snowflake" on the 2nd stage housing.
The intermediate pressure is lowered also as noted by Inka. (helps reduce free flows in colder water).

I've got the Legend LX Supreme. I knew the minor cosmetic differences when I got it... but I liked the silver ring better, so got it.

I rarely use the "lip guard".

I also raised my intermediate pressure back up to 150 +/- psi as is done with the normal Legend/Legend LX. I like it better that way.

The suprême come with a lip guard, a second diaphragm to seal the chamber, so the chamber become a dry chamber, a lower MP ( +/- 135 lbs) and the front cover come in blue instead of red.
