I have an Atomic M1; I love it. The Wife has an Atomic B2; she loves it.

However you can't go wrong with either reg; really.
 
I have narrowed my decision down to ATX 50 & 100. My question is: How often do the parts go bad/or need replacing. I was thinking of buying a new reg overseas (DIVEINN), which would come with no US warranty. In that case I think I could do the overhauling each year my self with some literature. I am very mechanically oriented, rebuilding a reg can be that hard or complicated, or is it. How expensive are the parts?? OR is this just a stupid path?
thx
 
I just ordered my ATX50 DS4 ATX40 set up from DIVEINN. I cant wait to try it out in the Similans. Thx to everyone for their help.
 
the ATX200 is a sweet reg with a nice compact first stage- I dive with an ATX-100, and the only problem that I have (and a colleague has with his 200) is that its a bit of a wet breath upside down.
 
That is the same setup I have. Very reliable and the parts do not wear very easily at all. I do not know how the parts works for the european systems though. You will like it very much.
