I'm still fairy new into my diving journey and cannot say with certainty as to what 'kind' of diving I see myself doing more of in the future. However, I am also a new entrant into the DIR/GUE community but do not want to limit my diving to just that for now. I do still want to keep my options open in jumping aboard the occasional recreational/resort dives when the opportunities present. Which now faces me with a decison when it comes to equipment configuration as the former leans more towards diving doubles and latter with single.
I currently am running a SB MK25EVO + S600/R195, and I figured I'd pick up another MK25+S600 (and toss the R195). But I recall how tedious it can be to reconfig the hoses, stages, and plugs. Which I believe subjects the o-rings more wear and tear each time. And then there's me being human and the possiblity of forgetting a port plug, not to mention keeping track of those tiny things.
This led me to the thought of picking up a set solely for doubles and keep my current setup for singles. And after searching through this board, it is especially enticing when I learned that the cost of the favorably-regarded Deep6 signature doubles set would run roughly the same as another MK25+S600.
So, what are all your thoughts on having a:
(a) pair of identical 1sts and 2nds, that can be reconfigured for single and doubles as required?
vs
(b) dedicated set for singles and a dedicated set for doubles?
