i am tempted to pull the trigger on it LOL. i will need an octo as well. i think the one thing that is holding me back is that Hollis as a special where they include a second second stage with the purchase. pretty crazy deal.
debates debates debates LOL

If you're just doing warm water recreational diving, there's not much point in getting top shelf regs. Get a reasonable one from your local dive shop. That way, you're supporting a local business, they are familiar with the reg that will eventually need servicing - and you know that if there's any problems, then you can go into that shop and get them to sort it out.
That being said, if you can find a great deal over the internet and are confident both in the seller and your LDS' ability to service the regs, then that's something to consider carefully. I bought a BC over eBay, only used a few times, looks great... Leaks.
An Air2 is pretty cool, I love having nice, tight and streamlined trim
they're not too much more expensive than a regular occy too.
Safe Diving,

Yeah most of the diving will be warm water. Very rarely we dive cold water.
I just want to get something that will follow me in my adventures with no problems. Also if and when I transition into more advance diving, I don't have to buy another set

Hog is as affordable and is starting to gather market momentum in Florida. It will easily carry you through tech diving
I see what your saying. The two shops I go to doesn't carry them. So with having servicing as a top priority, Hollis 212 kit with free octo, Aqualung legend LX supreme, or apeks? These are serviced at my LDS which is important to me. They only advantage I see now is pricing. The Hollis kit includes a second second stage for free with the purchase of a first and second stage. The Aqualung is top tier that is on clearance and same with apeks but I will need an octo.
Finally thoughts?

Just my opinion but for the money the Legend is top of the line and will serve you many years and is suitable for any style of diving you chose to go into. Now having said that my dive buddy just bought a pair of Hollis 212/DC1 regs and is happy with them.
well just my luck... i call to place the order for the legend and they are sold out
i called two dive shops local that carry aqualung and they dont have any either. back to the drawing board

If you travel or plan to travel for diving Aqualung seems to be presented the most in different parts of the world then Scubapro so it's easier to fix them in other parts of the world, if you already have an Aqualung reg in the family I would stick to Aqualung, simplifies the logistics of servicing. We had Oceanic reg (Aeris AT400) in our family but then I sold it as it was more difficult to find the parts for it and service it. We now have mostly Apeks/SP. Apeks has parts for life program in North America, if you regularly dive and do not have 10 regs to service so you do not plan to service your regs it can save money.
Some of the brands although cost you less in the beginning will cost more down the road as you will need to pay for the parts. I would recommend not to jump on the cheap deals right away but do more research and calculate how much it will cost you over the years. Some regs are also more easy to sell later.
