The scubastore price looks good. But check the shipping, that shop is in Spain iirc,and the postage could be huge.

Another suggestion to you is Atomic Z2. All atomic internal design are the same, so they all breath the same. The Z2, you are getting brass (whic is what every other brand is) instead of titanium or Monel on the higher end model. Two year service internal, transferrable warranty (not sure why you need it). Price for 1st+2nd is usually in the low $300 new.
When you need to sell and upgrade your reg, you will apprecieta name brands such as atomic, apeks, scubapro, ....

SCUBAPRO is the best IMO. If you are interested in new or used, checkout our web site below for our May Sale.
All diaphragm regs are sealed by design.....adding a second environmental seal to a diaphragm will only benefit you in sub 40's water.
As for keeping stuff out....please let me never dive in conditions where an environmental seal is necessary.

....yes, the big main spring.
But no delicate parts.
But no delicate parts.
so how does the mk25/s600 compare to apeks xtx50?
The MK25 is a piston design.
The whole middle part of piston regs is open to the water (inside there are the 2 main dynamic o rings).
For someone that was sold on the enviro seal of double diaphragm regs this is a step backwards.
The real deal is for anything but extreme cold water or diving in a septic tank if you rinse (preferably soak) your reg well after a dive it makes little difference what you get.....piston vs. diaphragm.
