I have Atomics B2 and Scubapro MK25T/S600T regs, the latter used for travelling. The swivel assembly on the Atomics is just wonderful and I am thinking of fitting one to my S600...anyone know whether this is a straight fit? Came across a similar customisation on Ebay recently - here.

I can't speak regarding the atomic swivel specifically, but unless the second stage inlet fitting uses a proprietary hose (like poseiden), a swivel is a swivel and will work on any second stage with a standard inlet fitting.

With regard to swivels, I have found that a 60 degree fixed elbow accomplishes the same thing (routing the hose closer to the head making it more comfortable and more streamlined) without adding the complexity and fragility of a swivel with it's attendant dynamic o-ring, retaining screw etc.
 
What DA said. I recently shortened the reg hose on my s600 by 3 inches and it has already reduced mouth and jaw fatigue. It used to push the second stage to the left of my mouth and now it sits right in the middle without pushing or pulling. Also, it's more streamlined. The hose that comes standard on the s600 is a bit too long IMHO.
 
If you get the Atomic Universal Swivel part 02-0097-3p it will fit not only ScubaPro but all other brands as well. It is the same swivel as on our regulators but just has a standard fitting that will work with any low pressure hose.
hope that helps!

Just had this done to my Aqualung reg for $69 for the hose at Scuba Toys. Now the reg is "perfect"...
