I see that these two are good budget offerings. I am based in Sydney, Australia.
As a beginner OW diver looking to get their own gear, I have found that these are serviced by a local dive shop - useful, since I am too inexperienced to think of servicing my own equipment.
I see that the service intervals are roughly the same (DGX 2 years, 100 dives / D6 2 years, 200 dives). I can't tell if the price tag on the excursion series regulator package is correct, since it is out of stock, but it appears to be roughly $300USD? Is this right?
Which would be recommended? I don't see obvious differences in parts materials and the number of ports seems to be more or less adequate from both offerings.
I plan on staying in rec diving for at least a year or two, building my diving skills before I tackle tec diving much later on. I plan on sticking to local dives, maybe traveling but unlikely to anywhere with cold waters as I do not want to use a dry suit at this stage.
