Deep6 Excursion Vs Signature

[TheBeepBoop]

Hey Folks,
I was looking at getting a new Regulator and have narrowed it down to Deep 6 (Or Dive Rite, but I think Deep 6) I can't decide if I should spend the extra on the Signature or save the money with the Excursion (I believe this used to be called the scribble series) I was curious if anyone had any experience with either? Do they breath the same? I know the Excursion doesn't have the 5th LP Port, have y'all found that that makes a large difference with hose routing for long hose setups? I also know the Excursion doesn't have a free first service, so I have been thinking about that as well, though I am thinking I would take the service class through them anyway since I like repairing my own things.

Thanks for any help!

What the Excursion has that the DS4 doesn't

Thanks Rob. That is good information to have.

There's also the X 2nd that they brought (back?) out for the Black Friday deals.
Are there any differences in the internals of the X vs the Excursiozn?

Subscribed to this thread, as I am contemplating a new reg set.

@LandonL - are Signature DINs still out of stock?

As a follow up, I purchased an excursion 1st to try and set it up with a signature 2nd. It worked great and appears to be almost identical to an Apek DS4 which will make it extremely easy to service. It also came with a service kit. I will be switching my family over to this set up for travel and will be using it for the younger divers coming up. It is a great option for a great price.
