Is that a Venturi adjustment lever I see? No automatic Venturi control on this one?
Manual Venturi adjustment and no cracking pressure adjustment.
 
Ah! So it's the second stage that's new!
Just looks like a T3 first.
But the second? Coaxial diaphragm?
That's the mistake Scubapro made with the D420. They got rid of the D400's coaxial diaphragm/exhaust valve in favor of looking better on those stupid ANSTI loops with exhalation work of breathing. In consequence you take that beautiful center balanced valve and detune it to 1.3" to make up for the exhaust valve position. Blasphemy.

Nice work, @staggsSevin !!!
I wonder what sort of valve their TFX second has? It looks like it just might be center balanced... Add Atomic's devotion to quality, and it might be better than the D420.

Oh, great...
I love my Atomic and I love my d400. And now I'm falling in love with this thing.
