I have an Oceanic CDX5 with Delta4 reg and swivel octo, all two years old.

I'm interested in upgrading to the Atomic Z2 system because of reviews and the Oceanic octoc-swivel has just been all problems since day one (I've had it replaced twice becuase of leaking). The CDX5 and the Delta 4 is ok, although it does breathe a little wet sometimes.

So, I'm considering getting the Atomic unit and then using the Delta 4 as my octo. Any conflicts here?
 
The Z2 is a great reg. The setup you are describing should be just fine. The Atomic first stage is fully balanced and runs the standard intermediate pressure between 135 and 145. I am a little concerned that you would put a know wet breather on for an octo. If someone has to use that octo, chances are they could be in a panic state, and a wet breather is not going to help the situation.
